Thank you all!!!
Meka is fixed.
I was wondering if ignoring her would work when she is being bad. I tried that at first and it didn't seem too but maybe now it would have more effect.... She does seem to be saying "Look at me!" It makes me sooooo want to know what her life was like before. She seemed to have been trained to bite and scratch people. She will attack people. But not strangers. She is real good with strangers as she will come out and investigate and let them pet her and then she goes away and stays in another room if she decides she dont' like them...
She does bad things and then goes by the garage door and meows like "I know you are going to put me out there now". That is not something we have ever done - like she was punished that way before...
I'm hoping time will let her adjust to us and not to whoever had her previously. The biting and scratching has seems to die down at least so far.
Debbie I wish she would be entertained but she will try and play with anything but most times it is only for about 5 minutes at most - usually about 3 minutes and she is done unless I throw it for her or play with it with her. Catnip is good for about 3 minutes. Paper bags, cardboard boxes, balls, you name it. I just wish I could borrow a cat to see if a companion would really make a difference.... It really seems like she learns but then her old training comes back in her head and she reverts back..... They trapped her as a pregnant feral but she obviously had a home at one point... But why wasn't she fixed at 2-1/2 years old????
