Great! Sounds like she's doing well and coming round. It's a big
shock leaving the home you've known..

Apparently the only scent I wear is cat pee, according to my
coworkers, but that's another thread:p.
I don't smoke.
She is a LITTLE better. She ate enough canned food to produce a
bowel movement. She's still not eating what I think she should,
though - especially since her former guardian said she was a very
enthusiastic eater and would make friends with the person who fed her.

Kelley,
Do you wear any scents....or are you a smoker? It may take her a
while to get used to your smell....or lack of if her owner used
perfume or smoked.

No, I don't think she is feral at all. Her ex-guardian had her
since 8 weeks of age, per the medical records she gave me. (she's
had WAY too many shots, IMHO - the vet we have inside Petsmart here
seems to be quite the ripoff joint).
She doesn't seem to like my voice, she bares her teeth and hisses at
me when she hears it.
Seems pretty indifferent to other cats so far (I shoo them out when
they go in her room, but she pays no mind to them).

Keep in mind that apparently she's not feral, just terrified. Give
her time, and try tasty stuff (like the fried chicken - great idea).
Talk to her soothingly.

Oh, she also hasn't eaten since she got here. I have tried her
regular food (they brought the remains of a bag over), pill pockets
(with no pills in them - my cats love them), freeze dried shrimp,
yucky Pounce treats, and canned food. Next I am going to try
tuna. There's no way I can syringe her, and I can't get her to a
vet without trapping her, which usually involves food. So I just
have to hope that she eats, I guess. Judging from my cats, maybe I
should try white bread - they think that is the best thing going!

Not only can I not touch her ears, I can't get closer than about a

If you are able to touch her ears, I would ask the vet to prescribe
benadryl to be compounded at a compounding pharmacy into
transdermal cream to rub inside her ear. My Patches has been on
this for years for anxiety. She was prescribed it because she was
pulling her fur out of her belly and back legs, and the benadryl
stopped that. But she also used to go after the other cats, and the
benadryl pretty much stopped that too. If I forget to give it to
her, it is noticeable because she goes after Lucy and sometimes
even me. With the benadryl she is pretty much fine. It does not
seem to make her groggy at all-- she is quite perky and energetic--
but just takes the edge off I guess.
