I've recently rescued a colony of cats! All are getting along really well except for 1, who is so scared, constantly over reacts in a violent manner! She's been in a mesh tent for a number of weeks, looking pretty comfy...many of hte kitties have spent nights lying beside the tent to keep her company. While she was in there, she'd often hiss & spit at the cats (& me at times) if we came close. It's obvious to me that she's EXTREMELY frightened, and when she hears a noise she strikes out without thinking. She once scratched me (very minor) & looked very remorseful immediately after. I let her out of hte tent 2 days ago for hte first time and things did not go well! She attacked a number of cats, including many that had been very nice to her while she was in there. Last night she put a claw into one of hte kitties eyes, so now she's back in the tent. Any ideas how to get her safely mixing with the others? Only people experienced with feral cats please answer!
