Re: cat question

Little Bit did that.  For about 3 weeks she hid.  I cleaned the litter box
and filled the bowls.  Occasionally caught a glimpse of her skittering off
when I came home or into a room where she was.  She warmed up in time.  They
just have to adjust at their own rate until they find their comfort level.
The affection will come in time.  After she came out of hiding it was
another week or two until she started sleeping in the bed at night.
