alwasy scared?
yes, i am asking for advice for my cat because im a loser like that and i love her wiht all my heart.
Ok, well my one cat Oreo is afraid of everything! No lie. She is afraid of my parents, my sister, TVs, lights, windows, refrigerators, the only thing she isn't scared abotu is me. She spends most of her day aroudn me, and if i go somewhere she'll follow. When I'm at school my mom says she is frightened to death and spends all day until i come home, in my oom under the covers. I don't know what to do, I feel really bad for her. We got her when she was a kitten so she never was abused. WE don't know why she does this. Should I make her face her fears so she can be more comfortable aroudn the house? When she is in my arms she feels very safe and protected ( if i make her face her fears i don't want er to be afraid of me also!) Please help me, and my cat.. ?

Awwwee.. poor lil kitty
Since this kitty is so attatched to ya... there's really only one thing to do.
You have to "introduce" the kitty to your family.
You've had this cat since it was a kitten, and you probably babied it, always smothering it, always hording it. It's not a bad thing... The cat just liked your affection so much that it blocked everything around her out, except you.
When you're home, try not to be alone with the cat. Having your parents/sister pet the cat while you're around is a great start. Also - ignoring the cat once in a while is good too -- don't worry - it's just to jump start her curiosity. Have somone else feed your cat.
lol "facing your fears" is all good, but don't like stick it outside in a thunderstorm or lock it in a cage w/ a pit bull or anything :O
Good Luck

Hey I think that you should make her do the things shes scared of but be with her the whole way. Like sit by the tv with her and just let her come close. Let your family play with her..but make sure you are always around.I really hope this helps. Good Luck

Your mum should try and coax her out from under the covers with a cat treat or toy. Also get your mum be the one that feeds her every now and then. When oreo's with you your mum should try stroking her (let her get away if she's scared). Hopefully this'll do some good.

i recommend facing her fears with her. like if she doesnt like your mom spend alot of time with your mom and with her. like sit on your couch with your mom and maybe she will come up and sit too!

She has to face her fears, like have your mom pet her when you're not home. After she (or he) has gotten used to your mom, take it to the next level and lock her out of your room when you're at school. She'll (or he'll) be scared, but unless you tackle the problem early on, it will just get worse. Just remember to take it slow. Real slow.
I love you,
