My cat, Violet, is around two and a half years old. I got her from TLC when she was 7 weeks old. She has become my cat and prefers me over anyone, including my parents, in the house. She is the sweetest thing. All you have to do is look at her and she starts to purr but she is so scared. If you sneeze too loud she jumps up. Last night I was eating ice cream and when Violet came in my room I accidently hit the side of the bowl and it made a sound and of course Violet jumped. So I did it again to see if she would jump again and she did. So I kept doing it at a constant pace and she jumped or at least twitched every single time. No matter what we do she is scared. We don't hit her and she gets so much love it would make you sick. I don't know what to do about it but she has scratched me a few times because when you hold her and she gets scared she needs to hug you and her back claws sink in. Does anyone know why she is like this and what I can do to make her not so jumpy?
Thanks Samantha
