Scaredy cat

Popped over to see Little Bro today and finally got to meet his new(ish) cat, Alice.
I say meet but all I really got was a fleeting glimpse as she squirmed out of his arms and shot behind the settee where she stayed for most of the time I was there. But, just before I was about to leave she slunk around to the side of the settee, letting me get a couple of photos and even had a brief sniff of my hand...no stroking though! Maybe that's for next time.
