I will try, but she's not in the floor. She's in the sink, and ferociously defending her new territory. I had to brush my teeth at the bathroom sink:)

*I agree with Diane... but you might also try Feliway or Comfortzone in the bathroom with her. I have had success with both of those products. You can also try Rescue Remedy in her water. We take in feral cats, and my advice would be to go in the bathroom with her... sit on the floor (get down to her level) and take baby food or treats to offer. Talk softly and just spend time letting her get used to you. Don't make any quick moves, and don't force her to come to you... just keep a very calm state of mind when you're in there.... and try not to make a lot of eye contact with her. It will take time, so don't expect her to come to you on the first trip in... She's scared right now, and that could take a while to overcome. * *Leslie =^..^=* On 12/29/06, Kelley Saveika <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Hi guys, > > I took in an owner surrendered cat last night.
