Hi. I have two cats (see picture below). 1 is a 2.5 year old gray tabby who weighs 15 lbs. The other is a 2 year old orange long haired tabby who weighs 6 lbs. The orange cat is the one that I worry about. Both were rescues. The older one is fine. Roxy (the orange cat) was a rescue. She was found in an abandoned home in Philadelphia with hundreds of other cats. She was underweight when I got her at 3-4 months of age. When I first brought her home she hissed at me in the car and at home. I was so worried about her. So I let her meet my other cat the day I brought her home. They immediately hit it off and she calmed down and stopped hissing. She is now 2 years old but still extremely nervous. She does not hiss. Now she runs, hides, shakes, and breaths heavy whenever someone is loud, someone new is in the home, something outside it loud, someone looks at her, or someone walks towards her. She also does not bathe herself and has huge mats in her hair. Lastly, anytime her food dish is only 1/4 filled, she will meow and meow and meow like she is dying until I put more in the bowl. Once I do that she will eat 1 bite of food and leave. She is the sweetest cat in the world. I have had cats my entire life. This
