it is only natural that they would want to test you and your patience somewhat.

Patience is one thing, but there should also be professional respect and courtesy in the relationship and it didn't sound like RubyCat was getting it from her description of the situation. It sounded more like serious procrastination and contempt than testing her patience. Procrastinators can be the worst clients as it's always someone else's fault that they didn't meet their deadlines and obligations.

Good luck at the meeting rubycat and let us know how it turns out!
