[quote=Anonymous]Agree to shrink her world a lot. Put her in one room with no plants but one or two litter boxes (perhaps one covered and one uncovered). Go in frequently and just sit near her. Listen to music or an audiobook but don't try to pet her unless she comes up to you. You can also gently toss some crunchy treats towards wherever she hides when you come in...even a folding chair with a blanket thrown over it or something can be a good hiding place (and can be easily cleaned as needed). As she chills out, spend some time with the door to wherever you're keeping her open and put a baby gate in the doorway (or two stacked if she's a climber). Then give her some supervised time in a wider range of the house. You may also find that she does better with another cat, but I would try making a smaller space first and see how she does. Some cats are not super friendly with people and that's ok--you can still give her a nice life![/quote]
