Her past history as I stated is very bad. She was allowed
to do whatever---never to be picked up---How in the h---can you take
good care of a cat you can never pick up.


This doesn't sound so uncommon to me.
I have had a Hellcat for 9 years now. I know she was never abused, as I've
had her since birth - just a very timid cat. I can't imagine trying to pick up
Tabisha, she'd freak out.

The one time I took her to the vets she tore me apart, and that was at home
trying to get her into the carrier. I DID get her there that one time to have
her spayed, drooling and hysterical, banging her head on the carrier. That
was her only trip to the vets. My other three go regularly.

She's a wonderful girl, she comes around to have her head petted - but I'm not
allowed to approach her. If I do reach my hand at her too aggressively, she
WILL scratch and will definitely bite. I suppose these are cats who prefer to
be admired from a distance. I can appreciate that - don't give up on her.
