Lilly is still (after almost 5 yeas) a real skittish cat. It takes her 30 minutes to decide if it’s safe to do something. Throughout the house, she won’t walk over door thresholds - she has to jump over them. She’s also still tiny - only about 9 lbs., and with a 15 lb. big brother, well...She loves her Dad though.
Might as well get used to it...one of mine is just about ten, and he is still a 'nervous Nellie'...chirps like a bird instead of meowing like a cat.
