Well, I'm sitting here almost in tears. I just stuck my hand into the Momma cat's kennel (after pouring food for her) and tried to pet her head ... she immediately lashed out at me and sliced up my right hand to match my left arm. We got off on such a bad start, because the people who brought her only had her one night, and they carried her into my house. As soon as I reached for her today, she smelled the other cats and went nuts. I scruffed her from the young girl's arms and took her back to my bathroom to chill for a while. Well, she didn't chill, and I had to arm my self with gloves and a heavy coat to try and catch her. I finally just dove in and scruffed her and dropped her into the kennel. She was fighting and hissing the whole way. Now she hates me and will never trust me ... instead she wants to remove my limbs everytime I come near her. It hurts me so badly, I'm not used to any kitty disliking me, and I want to take care of her and her babies so bad ... now I feel like I started off too abruptly with her, and she will never trust me. Someone with some feral experience, PLEASE help me with this. I am so sad and hurt over this ... her son is shy but is lying on my bed and will let me pet him. She just stares at me through the kennel bars.
