Maybe the introduction was too fast. Can she live in a bathroom for a few days and let them sniff each other through the door.
Tne reason I asked about her being feral is we had one that we rescued from under the house. She was cuddly and sweet for about a week. Then she turned on us. Turns out she was feral after all. She started hunting my daughter and eventually bit her. We had to put the cat down. The vet and/or shelter said once she’s bitten someone they can’t re-home. That’s why I was curious about her being feral.

Sounds like she need some serious play time to get all Phoenix61 Jan 2023 #10

Yes !!!!! Karadeniz Jan 2023 #11

Agree, much more play time with human parent, and rotating variety of kitty toys. Timeflyer Jan 2023 #13

This is going to sound insane, but it's worked for me. Put two or three in a smaller, confined area Karadeniz Jan 2023 #12

Do you have a room you can set up for crazy little one? peacebuzzard Jan 2023 #14

I second the Jackson Galaxy recommendation. Sky Jewels Jan 2023 #16
