we have a cat that is about a year old and was found in a shed! She hides all day and comes out at night while everyone is sleeping to use her litter box and eat. we have tried to keep her out during the day by blocking her access to hidding spaces but it still doesnt seem to help. She gets alot of love and attension but doesnt want it. We have had her for only a month and dont know wut else to do. she also doesnt like other animals so she is an only cat. What else can we do to socialize her?

Well the best thing yo can do for her is to give her tme and space really. Some cats do take quite some time to relax enough to become friendly etc especially if they wee stra and possibly feral. You just dont know what had happened to her before you found her.

I do have some information about bonding with cats but as I say she has to come to you and not be forced into situations as this will just make the situation worse.

Here is my page about cat bonding
