YOUR NEW LIFE TOGETHER
Once your cat is comfortable with the house, and knows where her food and water dishes, litter boxes (at least one per floor in a multi-level home) and scratching posts are, you can help her get started learning your household and family routines, which will now include her. Cats seem to thrive on consistency, and keeping her feeding and play times to a specific part of the day will be very calming for her, and probably for you too!! She will be more open to learning to recognize her name, your voice, the different personalities of your human family members, the household rules about jumping, scratching, etc. Just like humans, each cat is a unique individual, and it is important not to have unrealistic expectations of your kitty's personality. As she becomes more comfortable with you, she will open herself up and show you her individuality. Let her know that she is a full member of your family now, and she will reward you, in her own time and way, with her trust, her affection, and her love.
