This is very true. Dixie Louise, who is a very laid back cat, snarled at a
friend who had on a strange fragrance.
If you have men who will
exclude any of God's creatures
from the shelter of compassion
and pity, you will have men who
will deal likewise with their
fellow man.

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.
