On december 3rd, I lost my darling Siamese to Cancer. She only lived 1 week after being diagnosed. We were very, very close. I felt empty inside, and extremely depressed. I still do. I know that time heals all wounds, but sometimes I feel like this feeling won't go away, anywho this isn't the point of this thread.
My concern is our new kitten. We got two actually, from different litters. One kitten opened up right away, no problem. The other, is extremely scared. She never growls or hisses, but she wants nothing to do with humans. She did't come from an abused home (that I know of, you can't be too sure what happens behind doors) The person who had the litter this scared cat came from, had other cats that were very very friendly. I haven't seen her in a while. Somehow she got out of the room we were keeping her in until she got comfortable. Now we can't find her. She's not vocal, and won't come when you call her, so I'm at a loss of what to do. I may have traumatized her even more though, because the other day she got into the wall in our basement. I had to get her out, I couldn't leave her in there. I boarded it up right away.
We have 4 other grown cats, but they are sepearated from her. Will she every come around? Am I just freaking out for no reason. My heart breaks, because she is identical to my Chow (Siamese that died to cancer) I just want to love her, I would never hurt her, but she doesn't know that. My stress is through the roof. Advice?
Sorry if there are some spelling errors, and probably grammar errors, I just don't really feel like reading this over
