Yay! You've added a furry bundle of unconditional love to your house and she will be well loved in return. Congrats!

Many factors- shelter cat that may have not had much interaction with "toys". Entirely new forever home. Still adjusting to more freedom in the house. Strange new "humans". I have rescues that took months to understand "play", and one that never played. Eating is good, sleeping is what most cats do a lot. Just watch for things like runny eyes, sneezing, vomiting etc. Those are signals.

Thanks, Spidey.
I am not seeing any of those kinds of signs. She was checked out by a few not to long ago. She has all her shots, and stuff.
We were thinking the same thing, that she is not adjusted to being here yet.
Just give her time. Allow her to say when she ready for more stimulation.

You can see her 'beard' in this one.

Looking pretty for me!

Karen got a laser pointer for her last night, and that did the trick!
She goes nuts over that! Now she will get some exercise!
She sleeps on top of Karen, and will get in her lap. She won't do that with anyone else. So, I guess she is Karen's kitty!

....she is a beautiful little girl, marked very nice....and they do seem to "choose" one person....one of our cats is Tracy's, and the other-when she decides she is ready for attention, is mine....

Be very careful not to shine the laser in her eyes.

We have made it very clear to the kids not to shine that laser in her eyes, or face, or each other.
On, I think she has adjusted already! She is the most laid back cat I have ever had. She has slept in every chair, and bed except mine. (I think my room is to cold for her)
She misses everyone when they are gone, I have noticed that about her.
She also played a little bit with one of her other toys this morning also. That one she got herself. So, I believe she is settled enough with us to act like she does. Hopefully anyway.
She has a routine. When she eats in the morning, she comes to me for pets, then she gets in a chair, and naps while waiting for everyone to get up.

Wow! She was late getting up this morning! I had her food dish washed, and dried, and was putting fresh food in it before she came into the kitchen! Normally she is waiting for me when I get out of the bathroom.
She got lazy last night, and would watch the laser pointer, but not move to chase it. She is such a brat!
