FONT-FAMILY:Tahoma  }Wow, I'm having a similar problem with a stray I took 
in. She was okay for 2 weeks with my crew of 20 cats until I tried trapping 
some kittens outside (they may have been her's). I had the crate for the 
kittens (about 6) set up in my spare room, trapped 2 kittens -- got one in the 
crate then got the 2nd trap into the hallway when the tortie stray jumped on 
top of the trap and started howling and attacked me! Do you believe I hid in 
the bathroom, I know silly me! My husband shooed her inside our bedroom and we 
moved the crate into the garage. Next morning, she attacked my large male cat 
Sylvester -- my husband said she went after him unrelentlessly and he had to 
hit her with a bottle to get her off and she bit him. After that, I put her 
back outside but she wanted back in and silly me couldn't stand it (she also 
had a cold and I was giving her meds and set up a spay appt). She is now
 in her cat free (Hah!) downstairs living room. She was in heat several times 
and was fixed this past Saturday and is on Clavamox (she had lot of blood in 
her urine but seems to be getting better). She rubs on me in the morning and 
seems to be sweet but then starts twitching her tail at the same time and tries 
to get my hand, swats at me, bites -- she didn't break skin until today but it 
isn't too bad. One time Sylvester ran into the room w/o knowing she was there 
and boy did she try to get him -- got him out safely before she did anything. 
Then another time, my sweet 12 yr old kitty Sagusma ran in and there was a 
standoff but I picked her up and got her out. I am almost afraid of her and am 
thinking maybe I should have just TNR'd her. I just hate leaving friendly 
cats out there (tho she is more of a Dr. Jekyl and Mr. Hyde). It is just weird 
as she sometimes likes to lay on top of me and have me scratch her chin. Then 
she gets skitzo.

won't let them eat.  I've resorted to putting her in the guest room alone at 
night so she doesn't sneak up on Diana ( who sleeps on my pillow) and launch a

 With a cat this wild she may need to be on drugs to help calm her 
down, fluoxetine worked best for us, (kitty prozac), it may calm her 
down enough to get used to the new situation and once she has acclimated 
maybe she can come off them.  I had to do this with Cody more because of 
marking issues although there were a few spats because similar to the 
kitty in question he had no idea how to interact with the other cats so 
he would become defensive thinking he was being attacked.  Unlike the 
other ladies cats mine wouldn't bow down to him so he became the outcast.


I tried all of the available drugs and only the fluoxetine made him 
completely stop marking.  He was on it for probably 3 or 4 months, once 
I took him off he does still marks on occasion when KC puts him in his 
place but they all get along well enough for the most part and I can 
deal with marking on the limited basis he does it now, don't like it but 
I can deal with it.  He thankfully only marks in a couple of places.  If 
he ever gets as bad as he was before, marking multiple times daily he 
will go back on the drugs.


If she doesn't want to go that route, I didn't and let Cody mark for 
over 6 months before I finally decided I had to do something, Rescue 
Remedy never really worked on my guys but that may help and the Feliway 
may also help.  I would say if she doesn't want to use drugs 
introductions are going to have to start over at a very slow pace, if 
she has the room to keep new kitty separate from those already there.   
I've heard that rubbing a towel on the new kitty and then the old 
established cats and vice versa will mix their scents so they all smell 
the same, it's suppose to help, never tried it though.


Can she think of anything that happened recently before the change occurred?

I've heard that rubbing a towel on the new kitty and then the old
established cats and vice versa will mix their scents so they all smell
the same, it's suppose to help, never tried it though.

Can she think of anything that happened recently before the change
occurred?

   Hi Kerry,
  Cody isn't feral, just unsocial with the other cats although he is 
much better, he almost tries to play with Joey sometimes, but he plays 
too rough and Joey runs away after a few minutes.  When I play with him 
he bites way to hard, I don't think he had sibs or was taken away too 
soon since he didn't learn what is acceptable when play biting.


The fluoxetine can be compounded which is what I did, it came as a 
transderaml gel I rubbed inside Cody's ear tip.

My Evil Little Wednesday is the same way, only she has never wanted to play 
w/ others.

She is all bala and was abandoned one very wet, stormy night in an old beer 
box behind the Humane Society, @ the tender age of about 2 weeks.

She was my first foster.

Nobody bothered to tell me that she needed a playmate, which probably why 
she now has a very, very bad case of single kitten syndrome.

She would go to school w/ me all day and my instructors would bottle feed 
her ( I was in the photography program which is a bit more carefree).

She would meow constantly, but when you went to pick her up she would bite  
claw.

The only music that woudl rock her to sleep was Ozzy Osborne or Harpsicord 
arrangements, hence, the name Wednesdaylike Wednesday Addams..

Her favorite game to play w/ me as a child was Is there a God?

As she grew older, her favorite thing to do was to wrap herself around your 
extended arm ( extended to pick her up) and bite, claw  bunny kick...

This year she turned 7, so, I think she is mellowing out a bit.

Nothing scares me more than waking up in the middle of the night and finding 
her laying Spinx style on my chest, beading little eyes burning into 
me..

Her name is Legion, for she is many.
