Patti

I've had Patti for 16 years. She's been a classic scaredy cat and spends most of her days on her own. She has a fear of feet, but there is no one more pettable or snuggly at the end of the day when you're sitting in bed or laying down for sleep. She'll happily sit next to you for hours while you pet her and watch tv and talk on the phone and she'll lay down right next to you (or on top of you!) when you lay down for sleep.

My living situation is changing and I've needed to keep her out of the bedroom. As a result she hasn't been able to get the loving time that she used to and she's been changing into a more fearful mode that is very sad to see. I would love to see her go to a new home where she can be loved in the way that she's comfortable receiving it.
