My family has never really had pets, and I wanted to post my questions here as opposed to on other social media where I might be judged publicly.So I've had my cat about 5 years. My ex-gf found her as a kitten on the side of the interstate. Over the years she's never really warmed up to people. She runs and hides, hisses, attacks unprovoked. She's ok with me, and about once a day comes to snuggle me.Otherwise she destroys furniture, refuses to play with toys, she won't use beds, cat trees, etc. Is it possible she is a feral cat? Did we make a mistake taking her in? Any suggestions for her? We did get her spayed, hoping it would calm her a bit. She seems even more angry since (which was about 3 years ago). We have tried calming sprays, cat nip, leaving my clothes on beds and cat trees so she will feel more comfortable there.I'm feeling guilty that she has a miserable life and that she's making life bad for my wife and our other pets.</blockquote>
