Nani is scared of everything too. I have no idea what happened to her for her to be that way. she was fine when she was a kitten, but over time she just got weird. She is so pretty and should be seen, but she refuses to show herself any time someone is here. She's scared of all noises too and constantly jumpy. And, she has this weird fright of shoes. if anyone wears shoes in the house she runs and hides until they are taken off. I can only hope to be as active as your aunts. they are doing really good for their age. Russ's mom is only in her mid 60s, but I think the way she is, she will keep going like your aunts too. I think the key to it is staying active and that's what I try to do.
