Yesterday I adopted Ruby, the loving purring 6 year old siamese from our local shelter. She was fine in the car, I released her in the bathroom where she explored and sniffed and asked for more head rubs. She wandered into the bedroom walking past Barney and Freddog with just a little hiss, but once alone with me she became a snarling attacking wildcat! She is still hiding behind the closet and growling this morning, hasn’t eaten or used the cat box. I agree with Queen that I was wrong not to keep her completely separated but it seems extreme to have her turn on me even this morning, when she has been left alone for 12 hours. She had only been at the shelter since Thursday where she was completely relaxed.
