I feel like maybe a lot of her hesitance with me so far could be attributed to the fact that probably since I adopted her, she was brewing this infection which made her irritable and such. Do you think that's a possibility? Anyway, I've been giving her her space to feel better and calm down. She...

What do you mean by speaking? She isn't sociable with me yet, if that's what you mean. She still generally avoids the sight of me. 

She was quite active last night and did eat, drink, and use her box (I heard it and there was evidence this morning). lol

I don't know if anyone who replied to my thread will see this, but I took September to the vet. I had to have my father come help me because I couldn't wrangle her out from under the bed. She got very angry and stressed and ugh, it was terrible. But we got her in the carrier and got her to the...

I saw a similar statement online while reading about URIs. That she may have had it before and it comes out again when she's under stress (i.e. her adoption and move). She has an appointment with the vet this evening. 

She has an appointment this evening with the vet. 

She still has plenty of hiding spots (trust me). Plus there is conflicting advice on this topic -- many say give hiding spots, many say to decrease them over time; who knows what is appropriate. She still has plenty of hiding spots including the bed as well as little nooks and crannies. She has...

My recently adopted cat (see picture above) has been living with me for about a week now. Yesterday and today I finally convinced her to play with me with toys and such and she really enjoys it. She's going on 1 year old and is up to date on all her shots with her last vet visit recorded at the...

This is my new girl! I only got her a week ago (today) and she's still Queen Under the Bed. I do, however, already know that despite only having one eye, she has double the attitude!

Super, super cute!   I once held a kitten that small and boy, their little claws are like needles at that age. I particularly like the second to last picture --- (s)he's like "SUP." 

I am inclined to say I don't think so, but I honestly don't know. I moved into a new apartment a week before I adopted her. The person before me could have owned a cat, but I'll never know that for sure since the apartment was cleaned before I moved in and the carpets were shampooed. I know...

Agreed. Probably was like, "Woah, way too close, lady!" 

I'm having a difficult time not becoming discouraged and now, frightened, since she lunged at me from under the bed this morning when all I was trying to do was make the bed. She hasn't done this before.

While I was making the bed this morning, she half lunged at me from under the bed and now ever since this morning she's been hissing constantly no matter what I happen to do. I'm just frustrated and now, with the lunging, frightened.

She wasn't feral for long, I believe, before she was trapped (along with her siblings) by a volunteer. She was, however, kept away from other cats because of her eye condition while they were attempting to save it so she hasn't been very socialized among other cats. She was with a foster mom...

It does feel like that! Especially when you are catering to their every need and whim and then the little things just are like NO DO NOT WANT. Siiiiigh. I will definitely keep this thread updated with anything new or revelatory! Everyone has been very kind, especially you, so becoming a member...
