Beezus was probably born feral and never interacted with humans until we caught her and her kittens. She was skittish and very wary when they first came to us.

I had an inkling she might come around when we took her to the vet the first time and she would reluctantly accept being pet while confined in her carrier.

Six months later she has become a total cuddlebug and is trying to make up for lost time getting affection from humans.
