My kids are in the 9=11 range. She seems less scared of them than adults...she goes bananas when they come home on the bus...happy jumping, (which is a nono right now) tailwagging....Ill pick her up and take her upstairs and she will start shaking...It stops but I think she was just so used to the little laundry room she was kept in its tough. I had a behavior trainer come and she said "the transition would be equivilent to you moving from an 800 s ft condo into giant stadium and living in the center of it". We a good visual. I get it now..so we dont take her out of the family room much..even in her bigger cage she is shaky..Im looking for a cat igloo to le her crawl into in her larger cage while she recuperates. She is never so happy as when you tuck her in all snug in her fur bed.I cant fit that into her crate so she desnt get to use it unless she is supervised. I got up at 4 (she had the hiccups lol) and i let her pee then tucked her in. she was out like a light in two seconds..
