That’s great that she has already jumped on the bed with you.

I don't know if that was such a good thing. It's now morning and she was walking over me, head butting me, and trying to lick my hands almost all night long........LOL!

She's now in hiding again as I type this...

Ha! You’re obviously doing things right if she’s warming up to you so well.

My previous kitty Pearl was 2 when I brought her home. Before that, she was my vet tech’s “basement cat” because she would fight her senior cat if they were together. So not a bright beginning for us when she disappeared completely w/in 24 hours of my bringing her home. I thought I was going to have to report to the VT that somehow her kitty slipped out the door & was gone forever!

Turns out she’d secreted herself inside the guts of the hide-a-bed sofa. Much as you’ve reported, not sociable, no sign there’s even a cat in the house.

Eventually she warmed to me enough to come cuddle for snoozing on my chest & a belly rub at bedtime. But always hid for company.

Years later when her compromised kidneys required holding her captive to force pills down her throat... her unhappiness over that played a part in my decision to end her suffering. But she had a happy life w/ me before that. No regrets.

For you I’d add a toy-on-string-on-a-stick so she can satisfy her play urges w/out fear of your hands, if she’s still skittish. You know how kittens get the big crazy eyes sometimes but it becomes a play session? Otherwise, it looks like your relationship is going great.
