My first cat was similar when I first got her. She’d hide under my bed all day, but creep out at night, especially when I was sleeping, to check me out and see if I was safe. She eventually became the most outgoing, friendly cat. Unfortunately, the solution to this might just be more time for her to decompress and adjust. I would try something like a feliway diffuser or calming spray to put on the places she usually hangs out.

Calicos are always such beautiful cats. She does look done with all your picture-taking shit though.

My cat is always either telling me he wants to go outside unsupervised, or that he wants my food instead of his.
