my cat was like that but now she is 11 and totally fine when we come in the door
try to set up a place where she can hide like in a corner where no one goes and let that be her little place where she can always feel safe.
just a thought
it takes a while for babies to feel safe so just give it time and I bet she will come around
good luck!
one of my two cats was like that (she was a stray) but we just sat near her and petted her gently, and started playing with her, and slowly she got used to us. now she's the cuddle-queen. just be patient and gentle and (I know this sounds crazy, but...) talk to her softly while you pet her. she might always be a little jumpy, but chances are she'll slowly start to trust you and become an affectionate, happy kitty. good luck!!

She is timid and shyy.
alrightt soo my cat is about 3 years old and we got her when she was about 1. she is a very scared cat all the time.. she hides under the bed... runs when we come close to her. I tink she was abused before we got her. she is soo scared that we have to...
be sitting down in a chair or near her height for me maybe to pet her. and when I do pet her she loves it. what can I do for her? how can I get her to not be as scared.. I've had her for 2 years and she has just started opening up to me and my family now.
