My cat is shy and dosent like people

Question
In september I got a male tabby cat from a owner who had 4 other cats and was trying to give them away because they just got a dog. When i first got the cat it always was hiding (whitch i was told is very normal when you first get a cat). After ywo weeks it whould come out and wonder around and look out the windows, but Lexus (my cat) will never go around people and is always shy, all my friends cats are very playful, whats wrong?

Thanks, Ryan Mitts
P.S. My cat is a tabby cat whitch is indor/outdoor

Answer
Ryan,

I assume Lexus is neutered.

Also, how old is Lexus?

Cats like people have different personalities.  Some are very outgoing and some are rather introverted.  Some cats will bond with anybody, some with nobody, and yet others with one and only one person.

So, in a nutshell, there is nothing wrong with your cat.

I suspect, if he were only an indoor cat, he might be more outgoing, but it is impossible to predict.

It may also be that Lexus needs more time to adjust.  Two weeks is not a very long time. especially id Lexus is no longer a kitten!

Best regards... Norm.
