Kitten won’t come out of hiding and will not let anyone touch her

Hi guys,
I’m a bit worried. Yesterday I got my first kitten, she is a stunning 4 months old Russian blue. She had quite a long car journey yesterday but appeared quite confident when we arrived at her new home. She had a good nose around and even played with us when using one of those toys on a string with a stick. She wouldn’t want to be touched though. I’m not sure if she’s just stressed as at the breeders she was very cuddly and affectionate. Neither me or my partner have been able to touch her yet as she just runs off and hides. She seemed energetic yesterday evening but today she’s just slept all day and won’t come out from under the sofa where we can’t reach her. I have tried to give her space and just sat on the floor speaking to her in a soft manner but nothing seems to be helping. I’m starting to get really worried and don’t know what to do . I don’t want her to be unhappy here. She pooped yesterday but today she has not eaten or used the toilet and seems to cry every time we get near her. If anyone has any advice it would be greatly appreciated.

I was just coming on to see if there were any pics! But yes - let her come to you. Cats are funny little fur balls and can make a lifeline enemy if you piss them off (speaks the ex small child who loved to cuddle kitties)

Haha - anyone else getting the Feliway cat ad at the bottom of the page?

So I have been trying to post a couple of pictures but it's telling me I can't yet due to being a new user. Will try again tomorrow ! Right now she's up and back to exploring . I just witnessed her attempt to kill a fly haha she almost fell off a chair in the process... she's too cute !

Still can't post photos but turns out she's the most affectionate kitten I have ever met ! I'm so happy. She jumped on the sofa next to me last night, went on my lap and made me stroke her for an hour straight until she fell asleep Bear

Sounds like she has you well trained. Enjoy! Wishing you many many happy years together.

Awwww the cat has adopted you. You are now her pet!

bodgeitandscarper · 03/06/2019 10:42

Ah yes, she'll have you pandering to her every whim from now on bless her!

She is a beauty! What's her name?

Bit worried to see she is actually sleeping in a cat bed. Are you sure she is a cat? (Looks at Gimmie cat sleeping in wardrode)

Oh my God what a gorgeous kitty!

Pikusia1 · 05/06/2019 10:35

Her name is Izma (pronounced Yzma - like from emperors new groove top movie haha). She's a little sweetheart, although she's definitely starting to get too brave jumping and running around everywhere. She climbed the headboard during the night and fell off almost on my face giving me and my partner a lovely wake up. She has a sweet little meow for when she wants cuddles and she definitely has both of us wrapped round her little claw.
