My new cat is hiding and hissing after moving. What can I do?

Question

My parents aren't togther and i had a cat at my dads house, Who i just recently brought to my moms house. which i also have a cat at. The one at my moms is a male (Diva, don't ask, fixed) and the one i brought home is female (Daisy not fixed). Daisy has done nothing but hide in a spot where i cant get to here and wont come out and i can see her, but all she dose is hiss and growl at me. They are both lovable cats but since i brought her home she hasn't been. I don't know what to do to do. Pet's info: Cat | Mixed Breed | Female | unspayed

Poor Daisy! It sounds like she's quite stressed and upset about the move. Moving to a new home is extremely stressful for some cats - it can take several days or even weeks for them to start to feel comfortable in a new place. I would recommend setting up a separate room for Daisy with her food and water bowls, litter box, scratching post or cat tree, etc. and leaving her alone until she's ready to venture out into the rest of the house. You can also try using a Feliway pheromone diffuser along with a natural calming supplement like Zylkene or Composure daily to see if this helps.
