I went to go back and look at the thread, and it seems that princecats may actually just be shady as all hell.
1) A user on the thread posted ( http://web.archive.org/web/20230711144449/https://www1.flightrising.com/forums/art/3243357/13 -- last post on that page) that had problems with poor communication and follow-through with princecats, and who only received a WIP after starting to investigate PC off-site, and then nothing afterward.
2) That same user posted a link to a Beware PSA about PC on TH ( https://toyhou.se/~forums/5867.service-reviews/331540.catvillain-repeated-commission-non-delivery ) where a user encountered radio silence until posting the PSA (at which point they were offered a refund within 5 minutes). On that PSA, there are 5+ other users that have had problems with this same person. (The reason that princecats' TH link on their profile is dead is because they've changed their usernames multiple times since, apparently linked to the timing of PSAs/etc.)
3) Only after this all was made public was princecats suddenly and abruptly available again to comment within 30 minutes of the user from the above two bullet points. ( http://web.archive.org/web/20230711144530/https://www1.flightrising.com/forums/art/3243357/14 )
=======================================
So it certainly seems like princecats has a history of not fulfilling commissions and instead stalling/delaying until they're called out, then immediately doing the bare minimum possible to get it all to go away, before then doing the exact same thing over again, possibly in a different location/commission place. If I was the OP, I'd be extremely skeptical at this point, because while it's certainly not guaranteed there's a fire, there's enough smoke to look extremely suspicious and worrying.
Re: actually this artist seems potentially shady af?
To clarify -- catvillain (PSA)/ruinedmedic (current username)/catgf (listed TH on profile) are all the same singular TH user. Princecats lists "catgf" as their toyhouse account on their profile, which a quick google of "catgf toyhouse" then brings up a commission page of another artist who s catgf, but you can see the reply they've responded to is posted by the user currently named ruinedmedic. Additionally, on the TH PSA page, there's a report link (which goes by user number not username and bypasses username changes) which shows the current ruinedmedic (as tied to catvillain).

So yeah. There's some more sources cited that yes, princecats (FR) = catvillain (TH) from the PSA.
