Hi everyone,
I got a beautiful cat 1.5-2 years old six months ago and have tried reading to her and visiting her while respecting boundaries but still can’t get closer than 2 feet. She was a rescue cat described as “shy” but this seems excessive. She hides all day and night and has her own room with an open door. She eats only at night when we’re asleep and uses the litter box. Any ideas for drawing her out and getting her more comfortable with interacting? We’ve tried toys and sprays etc and nothing. She is spayed and came with shots etc.
