Thank you for all of the suggestions and ideas. I have been going downstairs to play with her when I am home. I realize that she is spending a lot of time downstairs because she feels safe down there and doesn't entirely trust me yet.

Molly's food, water and treats are upstairs in my kitchen. She will venture upstairs to eat and she stays upstairs for maybe an hour or two at at time while I am home, but then Molly goes back downstairs. I am not sure if Molly is sleeping upstairs or downstairs. She has not jumped on my bed yet.

It's sometimes hard not to compare my former cat Magic with Molly. As my Dad would say, "Magic wasn't afraid of the Devil in He___." On the other hand, Molly does not want me to share my food with her like Magic did -- at least not yet. .
