On Friday night the kittens were so hungry and really crying for their food. I prepared it and as I was walking over to put it down Gabby ran in front of my feet. Trying to miss her I nearly fell and yelled out but not really at her. She took off and the food went flying everywhere.
She hid under the couch and I had to nearly crawl under there to get her.
I think she thinks I am mad or something. She still wont come around or cry for her dinner now. She hides when I am preparing it. I have to go and get her and bring her to the food or Rocky will eat it all.She doesnt seem to be quite as friendly now other times too.

I feel so bad and wonder if she will ever get over it.

Ido not think she is mad at you, otherwise she would not let you near her! I think you scared the dickens out of her, don't worry she will come around. Sit with her, talk to her softly, reassure her and make sure she is in as stress free/calm environment. I know how misserale you must feel right now - but everything will be fine. Give her time.

Thanks I think you are right.

I sat down on the couch today and she did come up and sat at the other end and just looked at me. I talked to her and stroked her vey lightly. She arched her back just a touch. I think she will come around.

She will come around in time. Cats get spooked by lots of noise and ruckus. It will just take her ahwile to realize it's not going to happen all the time.
