Our son and daughter-in-law have a cat that was saved from having to go to the shelter. She spent the first year in their house upstairs. She was afraid of the other cats and the dogs. Gradually she would come down for a little while and then back upstairs. She's in there with all the rest now and loves everyone from the chihuahuas to the pit bull mix and the other cats, too. And they all love her, too. Give your baby time and she will come around sooner or later.
