When I found Pip, she would bite/hiss/swat every time. It's been eleven years... she's warmed up a lot, but still does it from time to time. Won't tolerate being held for more than a few minutes, will only let you pet her head & back, and flees at any sudden movement. Wierdly, she'll return and do figure-eights around your feet immediately afterward. Oh, and she has her very own Disney-movie story: My Dad had never liked her, due to her skittishness and timidity. About six years ago, he coaxed her into the crate and drove off to the pound. Fortunately, they had closed by the time he arrived, so he just dropped her off in the parking lot. The shelter was only a few miles from home... Two weeks later, who should show up, but a very thin, very pissed off Pip. Dad's still apologizing for that one.

What's worse is that he did the same thing with a neighbor's cat who would always eat our cats' food (which I didn't mind, as his owners would go away for days at at time and just leave him outside)... only this time, the cat found his way home after two days. I'm guessing he'd been abandoned before. Yeah, Dad was kind of an rear end in a top hat when it came to pets.

Oh, that threat was made by most of the family afterwards. We were only joking, of course OR WERE WE HMMM???  And both my paternal & maternal Grandmothers went through dementia before they died, so it's in the family. Happy 80th, Dad!
