Actually this cat is very different from ll the previous ones, except perhaps - Taffy.

Shadow was completely shutdown when we got her and had been in the animal rescue since July, so had really built up a lot of paranoia. We had not experienced this much fear in a cat previously.

Coriander sounds like she was also very fearful.

Taffy was bullied by another cat before we got her, so we want to be sure that she is neither bullied, nor bullies poor Shadow.

We hope that Shadow comes around sooner that Taffy. It took Taffy from 2011 when we adopted her, until this year 2022, to be friendly to me. She was very bonded to Bruce, but I was this other person. LOL
