Hi all!
I am caring for my friend's cat while she's on vacation, and if all goes well I will adopt the kitty. I've been very careful to follow advice for giving her space, trying to gain her trust, etc- not running after her, giving treats, ignoring hissing and backing off if she hisses, talking in a sweet soft voice, etc.
It's going fairly well but only have 3 days. She's in my bedroom where she food and litter and bed are- although she's ventured out into other parts of the house. She still prefers to sleep under my bed. My boyfriend is coming over this weekend and sleeps in my room- should I move kitty and her belongings to a spare room while my BF is in my bedroom this weekend, or just continue as is? I'm sure a new person will scare her, so I don't know what to do! Help!
