yes lexie is a little like that too, terrified if people even walk by on the roadside, but she can be ok sometimes, just waltzed in whilst my girlfriend who she does not know and did not worry, but she is really scared of my 21 yr old son, and he has been nothing but nice to her, cant explain it, i dont know her full history so who knows, but good point , u got the kitty for your family no one else, anyhow i have social phobia myself so i can understand where kitty is coming from seriously.
