My cat is just over two years old and in the last year since my boyfriend has moved in with me she has been the original scaredy cat.
I don't think it is something that my boyfriend directly caused as she clearly prefers his lap, pats and play time to mine, but her behavior has gotten worse.
She will run and hide from any sound she cannot identify as well as any object that is in her path that she doesn't recognize. Like a jacket that has fallen off of the hook.
Now I haven't worried about it too much, but we moved yesterday, and I am worried that the stress of unfamiliar surroundings may harm her physically. Also I would like to get some sleep, as she spent all night last night walking from one room to another howling. She also tried to escape our new apartment this morning, although she has never wanted to go outside before.
Should I be worried? Does anyone else have such a scaredy cat?
