Thanks for those replies. What you were all saying really makes sense - she felt overwhelmed and probably overexcited. There was a lot of movement as people walked around chatting and laughing and it just must have been too much for her. I will do as you say, and slowly start to get her used to a lot of people coming over. The X-pen idea is one I think I may go for, as at least she is still 'free', in a way, and I can tell people not to try and pick her up straight away, while she is adjusting to having more activity in the home. I agree with the children just having too much energy. Although Tootsy seemed excited by having the children, she just got overexcited and then threatened.
Thanks so much - I feel a lot better now. I was worried that she had a split personality!
