Mina cat

Mina came to live with us about 18 months ago when her previous owner/slave (what's the word for someone who looks after a cat?!) died.
She's extremely timid but loves to know where we are. When she first arrived, she managed to get behind the skirting and under the utility room cupboards and would panic if we were in the same room as her. She's since moved into the outhouse and won't come in the house but follows us around the garden as soon as we go out.
Now we're eating outside a lot of the time, we're going to be seeing a bit more of her! She's part of the (garden) furniture now!
