I adopted a cat that a friend found on the street. She's affectionate and loving when she's not hiding off under the bed or in the closet. She seems to be afraid of everything. What can I do to calm her nerves? I hate to see her like this a lot of the time.
It's no unusual for street cats to have difficulty adapting to home life. You need to remember that your cat was never propery socialized to be in your house. Be patient. Try coaxing her out of her hiding places with a soft voice and treats. Your patience will be rewarded. She'll eventually learn she has nothing to fear in your home.
