[QUOTE="SRL, post: 336113, member: 701"] I'm sorry to hear about this. Cat bites can be nasty so I hope you cleaned it with soap and the hottest water you can stand, followed with some kind of antibacterial. I have a normally feisty cat, but he turns seriously feral the moment he sees the door of the vet's office. He's bit the vet before and while there he's lunged for me too. Honestly, my cat's just scared and no amount of training would ever change the fact that's he's acting instinctively to fear. It sounds like Lupia's been through a lot of adjustments lately and is scared too. Not to mention that after finally being reunited with her owner, she's probably determined that she's not going to be parted from her willingly again. As for getting the cat adopted, I'd try Petfinder.com, or a no kill shelter if you don't have any other leads. I'm living proof that not everyone wants the sweet in your face sweet lap cat. I like my independent, high spirited difficult child cat just fine, and if I something happened to him I'd probably choose one with a similar temperament. Do you have some Feliway spray? You have to get the cat's mouth open and toss pills down the hatch. You might have better luck mixing it with food or chicken baby food. [/QUOTE]
