My cat is very shy and timid, only likes me and when strangers come into the house she hides in the bed .I have tried having family members stay in the house while am away but thats stresses her even more and takes a while for her to calm down .Maisie is a house cat never goes out sometimes if shes frightened she will try and dash out the front door so it is important that front door is closed quickly. Maisie uses her cat tray twice a day, she drinks from a bowl that is in the bathroom sink needs changing twice a day so that she has fresh water .Maisie eats dry food, and loves treats particularly lick ticks which she takes from me twice a day however wont take it from a strangers there fore will need to go on her saucer .Maisie isn't allowed in the lounge or kitchen when am not in however has the run of upstairs .
