Indy is 7 years old
and has never learned to play nicely with new friends. More
than 2 weeks of being around is required before she will
socialize.
In her infancy, Indy demanded
to be fed from a bottle and rewarded the feeder with many
scratches. As she matured, she became quite vocal, hissing and
raising fur at any stranger unlucky enough to enter the room.
So vociferous is she that everywhere she has lived, the
maintenance crews have refused to enter the property unless
she has been put up or taken elsewhere.
Indy is not out for blood
(although she regularly draws it from strangers). Once she has
attacked she runs away and scowls from afar. If she has seen a
person or other animal regularly for a couple of weeks she
becomes curious and somewhat friendly and later, quite
lovable.
Anyone with a bit of
determination can survive her attitude and become her friend,
but due to her extreme territorialism, I think she qualifies
as a mean kitty.
