My babies are liter mates, 5 years old. My female is the more playful one, male is a great big scarity cat. If you are in the Sewing Studio they will come greet you and even stay while you are here. BUT if you come in the rest of the house they hide, especially Reggie. They are scared of storms too. Never had cats that were afarid of a storm. They start hiding when it starts raining. Go figure.
