I adopted a cat two years ago following the death of her original owner. It took a long time before I could even get near her; she’s a very skittish cat.
Since then, we’ve built a great bond, but I’m the only person she really clicks with. She can’t stand anyone else’s presence and spends all her time hiding and terrified whenever there’s any movement in the house. The slightest noise or sudden movement causes her distress. She’s very aggressive towards my partner when he tries to approach her. I feel so guilty that she’s living in a constant state of anxiety.
It stops me from having people over because I don’t want to terrify her, and I can’t imagine having children given her behaviour...
I don’t know if she’d be happier in another home, perhaps with an elderly person, but then she might be aggressive...
