Life lesson: do not adopt a feral kitten who’s still mostly feral when you come to adopt her at 7 months!
Ha ha ha, had I but known... Eight years ago we rescued a mother cat and her kittens, who were nearly weaned and had clearly never seen a human in their lives. One became perfectly tame within a day or two and went off to a wonderful home, the other three took MONTHS to socialize, and were never able to adjust to other homes.
One of them died a couple years ago, but the other two are still with us -- lovable and snuggly with us, but terrified of every other human on the planet.
