adorable! very sweet...very pretty, of course. is it possible she was feral? that would explain much of it. i once interacted with a colony of ferals and they were like that. maybe could also have been post-trauma.
makes me think think about my own baby. although, he was a wuss. he was also a grumpy guy too...but the only thing that would get him to react with claws or a swipe would be a young, feisty kitten that was jumping all over him (swipe! stop it...you're bothering me!). lol
@flychomperfly It's highly unlikely that she comes from feral cats, seeing as how when I have the alergen count in her saliva tested she comes back with the same reading as a pure bred Siberian would have. I'm pretty sure she's basically ptsd when it comes to other people. She is slowly getting to tolerate people other than me or the roommate I've had since before we rescued her from the hurricane as a kitten.
@flychomperfly I have met this cat in person. She is, or at least was at the time, horrifically mean. I have never heard something that small sound so incredibly angry. I still sometimes have nightmares. I haven't had a comfortable association with a cat ever since XD

@Stonehawk well now you've seen what she can be like when she's being a sweetie, Stoney.

@Stonehawk Also, you didn't help much by reciprocating her animosity... All you did by growling and hissing back was reinforce her negative behavior.
