Near my house building, there is an abandoned home with a little yard, that many stray/ feral cats live there. The past summer, while I was returning home a little kittie saw me and begun meowing me. I walk near her and began to pet her and not only she let me, but she began to follow me for a few feet. The same day I began to feed her, going to the old house calling her. After a few days, she began coming outside of my door and I let her in and feed her... Of course she was never staying long, but she was staying longer every time. After a while in the end of summer, I was going a business trip and I was worried about my stray cat, a friendly neighbor took care to feed her while I was gone. Returning from the the trip everything was ok for the most part. But with the end of summer, every time she was coming, I closed the windows and door, because of the cold. I think she was not like that,cause every time she was meowing and standing in front of the door. I try to keep her a while longer every time and she seems to accept it,fine enough, but the time that I called her to come now, shewas showing a little later, sometimes even hours later. Anyway, she never could stay for more than 5 hours a day. Near my apartment house a neighbor has an outdoor cat that is twice the size of mine and always attacking her, so some night she came home with a damaged eye and crying blood tears. Immediately, I began to make chamomile compresses while she was meowing/ crying... this was the first night that she stayed in my house for6 hours. The next morning, she left again and she came the night again crying forher eye. I tell you that meanwhile i booked 2 different appointments with the vet and we lost them cause she was not coming when i was calling her. The third day I had the day of my work and stayed to wait hercome, when she came I closed the doors and windows and called my vet who told me to bring her that moment to her. The whole road from my house she was meowing and was very upset. There the vet let us know three things: 1) she had an eye infection and she had to have eye drops 2 to 3 times a day, 2) I was also had to apply to her a salve every night, after a bath with a specific shampoo and 3) I had to take her there again after a month to check her. In that next appointment I also was going to Spaying her. Well that was our doom ... My so loving and caring pet became a horror.... At first she hated the nightly bath so much, that when she was coming she would not let me touch her, after a while she was used to bath but she was coming only for food and she bite once when I came to hold her, then out of reflex i toss her away and hitting her on the floor, but she was still coming back every morning waking me at 5.30 for food and petting. And then one day after the bath,she began to scratch everything in the house and she was not listening (she was usually listened to my loud voice) so i grab her and toss her in her little bed, for some time she was scared of me, because Iwas yelling loudly. She did not came for a day or two but she was coming nearly every morning after that. One day, I did not open cause I was up late and I did nit hear her meowing, but my neighbor told me she as there. Anyway, after that i called and called and she never came back again... So a week ago I begun to go to the old house calling and with food, she did not show immediately but i spot her under a nearby car so with her favorite food she extract her head to eat so I grab to my arms and then all hell broke loose... she bite me and scratch me very hard and everywhere until i let her, I return home that day crying. After that incident, I return many times and call her and she is running to hide... and she never came back. The moment that i write you this I also cry, but I cannot get over how my loving cat that she actually choose me, decide to hate me so completly... I understand that I did some yelling and maybe tossing when I was mad but I feel like a very bad person, that not even a cat can stand... Please, answer me, I want her back! What i did so wrong?
