Awww, poor Charlie. They sound a little like Paizly and Jax, except he doesn't try to mount her (only the Zoee does that to Taggart). But Paizly also hides when we have company, or the dogs bark (which is a LOT). But as she has gotten older she seems to have chilled out more. I can tell because when I had my friends cat (G) here for 4 months you could see the fear in her eyes. I just kept the temporary cat locked in the room, since he couldn't behave himself. But now she fusses and gets pissy with Jax but all the while her tail is playfully wagging and you can just tell she is relaxed. She's just being a little b*&%#.

I know how difficult it would be for you to give her up, but as you stated....she is unhappy. And I know you want whats best for her. Do you have any friends or family that would take her in so you could still have visitation with her? I know that's a LONG shot, but thought I'd ask.

I have confidence that you will do what is right for Charlie. I'm just so sorry it isn't working for her.
