taker her in your room one night with some water and her toys on ur bed...leave your tv or radio on (maybe try on the weekend) for the entire night...play with her on the bed till she tires out..the tv may drown out some noise n after a few nights she should get used to various noises

Reply:If you toss and turn to much then your cat is afraid of being rolled on top of.





In the hotter times of the year she would feel to hot in bed with you. Very cold nights and your warmer body can be helpful but if she is afraid of being rolled on then she will seek her warm place else where.
Reply:My youngest cat is still very skiddish at 6 years old. There's nothing I can do about it. He's in a quiet safe environment, but the slightest noise can see him run back under the bed. Sometimes it's like he trusts me and mostly he's very suspicious. He MUST smell my hand before I try to pet him. I cannot not play with him. He runs and doesn't come back until after a safe amount of time. I've given up trying to play with him. The only thing you can do is give the space she wants and eventually she'll come by and check you out. If you reach for and she runs, don't follow her. She'll eventually realize you're not a threat and trust you from one second to the next. She may never be a lap cat, but sometimes, every six months sit on your lap. My youngest cat only snuggles up to me in the middle of the night. I can do things with him first thing in the morning while I'm still in bed, but as soon as I get out of bed it's a different story. It's not just your cat, but all cats only do things when they want to and only if it's convenient at the time. Patience and time is all that's required. She'll eventually bond with you, but you can't force her. Every time I sneeze, even these days after 6 years, he runs out of the room and straight under the bed. There's nothing you can do about that, but cover your mouth and make the sneeze as quiet as possible. It sounds like she's a feral cat. They're very difficult to domesticate, but worth having.
Reply:Cats are very independent animals. You cannot force them to do anything. We all want a lap cat, but that is no the case. Cats are like humans. Many of them are shy and just do not have that personality. Accept your cat for who she is.





Maybe get your cat another cat. Another cat can sometimes help. But do not regret buying your cat. My cat is five.





He is not a lap cat. But over time he has gotten a tad more friendly. I enjoy his personality and many strange quirks.





Drinking out the sink, greeting me at the door, sleeping on my computer. You must accept them for who they are.
Reply:haha same problem with me. im 14 %26amp;%26amp; i got mah 2nd kitten wen i was 5. %26amp;%26amp; shes really scared of noises, %26amp;%26amp; shes afraid to go outside, %26amp;%26amp; she practically does nothing all day. i try 2 bond with her as much as possible, but she just doesnt want too. i guess u cant make an animal bond with you; but u can always try being really nice to her %26amp;%26amp; pet her a lot, %26amp;%26amp; love her %26amp;%26amp; trust her. thats wat ive been doing, %26amp;%26amp; shes been friendly to me now =] but mah 1st cat dat i had ever since i was 3 was really friendly %26amp;%26amp; we still bond a lot =]


u can try dat.
Reply:You can't force a cat to bond with you. It's something they do, on their own. Don't be so upset! I'm sure the cat knows that you love her and take good care of her too. But, gee, don't be beating yourself up like this. Bring the cat on your bed, have her lay down, even if you have to hold her down. Pet her, scratch her, under the chin of course, and talk to her softly. Try doing this as much as you can. She most likely will get the message real soon. Lots of cats jump when it comes to loud and sudden noises. Heck, humans do too! Don't move so fast with the cat, try to slow down a bit. Go slow when you want to pet her, showing her that it's okay. It's a typical cat, they are not anything like dogs. Dogs love all of that stuff, cat's, well, could really be bothered.
Reply:you have to give her time...cats also tend to be very independant, and a lot of the time will give you the cold shoulder, but you shouldn't take any of it personally. i'll call my cat over, or pick her up and want to love on her, but she pushes away, but she'll come to me and let me love on her when she wants to just like your cat. that's just the way they are. and as for being scared of noises, cats' hearing is highly sensitive, so a noise that we don't think is loud sounds like a jack hammer hammering away to them. everything is much louder to them, and cats tend to always be on their toes anyway because it's a natural reaction.
