I am inclined to say I don't think so, but I honestly don't know. I moved into a new apartment a week before I adopted her. The person before me could have owned a cat, but I'll never know that for sure since the apartment was cleaned before I moved in and the carpets were shampooed. I know people living around me have mostly dogs, but I live in a second floor apartment so unless they'd let the doors go up my front stairs to my door, they wouldn't have the opportunity to get near the apartment. The only thing I could think of is if the person who lived her before me had animals, though I'd think some of the smell would have dissipated because of cleanings. I think it is more like she was like ... WOAH NO
I wonder....could she be picking up the scent of another animal? She was fine with you when you met her, and only had a problem when you brought her home. That suggests that it's something in the environment, not you, that initially upset her. Are there outdoor cats marking around the building? Or even dogs - I have a cat and people friendly kitten who will hiss and spit at the mere whiff of dog. Did you have a pet before? Any toys left over?
