New Kitten, Calpernia

A few weeks ago, while we were out of town for a long weekend, our former new cat decided to see what was across the street late one night and didn't make it to the other side. I found out from our neighbors while unpacking the car. We had to break the news to Anna and we were worried she would be very upset, but she took it well knowing he was in heaven. So, Friday I had the opportunity to bring home another new family member.

This one, it tuns out, has a very different personality. I was told she was one of the friendly ones from the litter but sofar she is very scared and tries to run and hide at every opportunity. The first day she hid behind and underneath a large piece of furniture. She stayed there for 24+ hours then we pulled everything off and moved this piece. Now the way behind it is blocked on both sides and little Calpernia is in a carrier while we try to calm her and get her to eat and drink.
The slightest move from anyone in the room and she jumps and tries to run for cover. I guess this is the epitome of a scardie cat. A little disappointing but we'll stick with the kitten and see if we can make it a fun pet.
