New thought: Leave a piece of your clothing (old please) where she can get
used to the smell. A well used wash cloth or towel would work.
If you have men who will
exclude any of God's creatures
from the shelter of compassion
and pity, you will have men who
will deal likewise with their
fellow man.

Subject: OT - Help, aggressive cat
Hi guys,
I took in an owner surrendered cat last night. Most of my rescue friends
love taking in owner surrendered cats because they generally have at least some
medical history. I got this cat in, and she is *extremely aggressive*. She
acts completely feral. I'm not able to get within a foot of her at the most.
I have her in the bathroom by herself in hopes she'll calm down. The previous
owner states the cat was friendly with her and never attacked any visitors.
However, the paperwork from the vet lists "aggression" as a condition going
back at least 4 years.
Any ideas? I think this is going to become one of my cats. I can't adopt
out a cat I know to be aggressive. At this point, if she needed medical
attention I'd need to trap her to take her in .
Has anyone ever dealt successfully with a cat like this? If I didn't know
better I'd swear she was feral and had never been around humans at all.
