Peaches is a scardy cat

[Pinot's Mom]

"Street" cats are scared. They have had to rely on their wits; everything is a potential threat. This is not abnormal and it will take some time to subside. Pinot (my girl) was SUPPOSEDLY not a "street" (or feral) cat when we adopted her from the shelter, but she has a lot of the skittish tendencies, too. Just try and be calm and soothing as much as possible; it'll be OK.

As far as the name - that'll NEVER happen. Cats respond to what they wish and it's part of their charm!

We have a few cats like your Peaches, just give lots of LOVE and a calm atmosphere. If you want Peaches to learn her name, call her PEACHES...give her a treat when you call her and she comes to you....she will learn her name eventually. Good luck....

Thanks for all the advice. Most of the time when I call her the odd names she just looks at me. And it doesn't work all the time. So I will work with her to have her remember and learn her name.

And for the scardy cat thing THANK YOU. I don't have to worry so much and I will keep on spoiling her rotten.
