Hello all, after reading your newsgroup for a while I think it is time to
ask my question. I have three female cats, one 13-year-old with some health
problems, and two year-and-a-half littermates. Urza is bigger and a bit
stronger than her sister Mishra, but for some reason Urza has turned into a
very skittish cat!

It started when we moved six months ago. Since then, she seems normal most
of the time, but sometimes if you move suddenly or make a noise she will
take off like a shot. Last night she was next to me on the couch, when my
husband moved a chair across the room. She flew across me and out of the
room so fast she scratched my leg and my hand badly.

It's not all the time, though, and I don't know how to help her. She's a
very sweet cat, and loves attention from me (when *she's* ready for it, just
like every cat I know :-) so I would like to help her out. Does anyone have
any ideas or suggestions for me?

Thanks,

Jess Knoch
