The shelter people didn't think she was abused. But she was an abandoned stray, and despite her young age has already had two kittens of her own. So obviously her life up until now has been difficult. [Reply]

Sounds like a similar story to ours. She'll probably always be a skittish cat, but if you can be patient and get her to come out of her shell, it's pretty rewarding. Hang in there. [Reply]
