☾✩ S0 Eden is d0ing much better. the vet gave her a checkup and 0ther than s0me eye dr0ps and a de-w0rmer she was g00d t0 g0!
she walks ar0und fine n0w but she's s0 s0 s0 timid and jumpy and scared. I n0tice it m0re and m0re the better she feels. She hisses whenever y0u m0ve t00 fast 0r m0ve t0wards her 0r pick her up, and t0day when i picked her up she attacked me and bit me. This surprised me, since my 0ther cat is VERY well tempered and has never d0ne s0mething like that.
I kn0w she's a stray but she's y0ung en0ugh she sh0uldn't be fully feral.
Is there anything I can d0 t0 help her feel safer?
I want her t0 feel safe and calm and be able t0 blink 0r nap when we're ar0und.
I d0nt kn0w what happened t0 her, if this is 'wild kitty' energy 0r if a human hurt her (which is very p0ssible)
I pet her while she eats t0 ass0ciate my hand with g00d things and she d0esn't hiss then but when she's d0ne she's right back t0 hissing.
Its 0nly when i m0ve her ar0und 0r appr0ach her. She'll set 0n my chest/in my shirt and n0t m0ve f0r h0urs and be fine as l0ng as i d0nt j0stle her
I want t0 help her, I just d0nt kn0w h0w ;u;

im starting t0 w0rry that that might be the case. I talked t0 the neighb0r wh0 has Eden's m0ther /siblings and they're all happy and walk right up t0 him and d0nt seem skiddish at all. Eden had a large welt 0n her head and has a large cut 0n her back leg thats healed 0ver. I w0rry what happened t0 her but i can 0nly try t0 help her rec0ver fr0m it. thank y0u f0r y0ur advice!
