When I got Winn, she seemed sweet, but she was terrified (she was being given away in a box infront of walmart). When I got her home, she freaked when she met the dogs. I kept her gated in the hallway, the dogs couldn't come over, but she still was scared to death of them. Eventually, she got over her fear, and got mean. She stopped staying in the gate, and would walk around like normal, she didn't run from the dogs, but if they got close, she'd growl, hiss, sometimes swat or bite them. She'd also randomly attack me.
The whole time, she has not ever been afraid of me. I can pick her up at random, she doesn't care, but she is not affectionate with me, I might as well be picking up a stuffed animal. I pet her and she ducks away. If I avoid her head, she'll let me pet her longer, but never more than a minute, then she leaves. She seems to like me though, comes and sits on me when I watch tv (I'm not allowed to pet her when she's sitting on me).
And she doesn't purr for me. She will for Fin, so I know her motor's not broken.
I've never had a cat that you couldn't coax a purr from if you tried hard enough.
She's just a peculiar little cat, I guess. She a good cat, pees in the litterbox and all
