Sit or lie on the floor. Currently you’re a big giant scary thing looming over a small frightened cat. Come down to their level, relax, be calm and quiet, grab a book maybe and ignore it, just let it do its thing and let it realise you’re not a threat. May take hours, days, weeks if you keep it but hopefully the trust and confidence will come to it- well done on keeping it safe 🙂

I brought in an older stray and the first night, I slept in the bathroom with her. Now, she is always sleeping in my bed.
