Oh.h.h. yeaaaaaa - sounds very familiar. I'd give her some time to
herself for a few days, and see how she reacts to a little tasty
canned food after that. I've had the NICEST cats start out quite
aggressive, because they didn't like the new and different
surroundings, don't like leaving their homes, watching their stuff
being packed up, etc. When I got C.J., he was really scarey. But he
turned into such a sweetheart. Same with Katie. Have had others do
that too. I'd say - it's not time to worry yet.

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.
