In person, it has the most beautiful long, black and copper fur. Absolutely stunning. Hopefully I can get this one habituated to my presence, like I have with the original Skittish Kitty. Who is less and less skittish, every day, so I might have to come up with a new name.

(57,073 posts)So sad. One so wants to be friendly, but freaks out when it realizes I'm petting it.
They pretty much need to learn how to interact with humans at the right stage of life from what I've read.

I guess that's a bit unwieldly for daily usage ... hmmm ... how about 'Bash'? Short for bashful. Which they aren't entirely anymore?
