I've only had her about 6 weeks. She is about 2 1/2 years old according to the vet and I got her at the local animal control... I feel sorry for her if she is picking up on our stress!!!!! haha I was hoping having her around would divert our thoughts from all our worry to having and enjoying her. But she is driving us nutts! Plus she is not really a lovable cat. She wants to by us - under our feet tripping us as much as possible but not a loving lap cat. She will sit on top of the couch or by our feet... Debbie
