Daisy is the stray who spent last winter in my garage, that I trapped and got inside in April, spent six weeks in my kitchen before I could get her in a carrier and (finally) joined the family in May. Daisy luvvvvs other cats, so she is happy as can be with her new companions. I still can't pet her unless she is eating or in laying in her cat bed in the bathroom (because I close the door and she knows she can't get out). Despite this aversion to people, I would classify her as totally plugged into our family. She doesn't so much as hide, as go somewhere where she is out of reach but can keep an eye on the action.
At any rate, I was almost despondent that she wouldn't let me near her before, but it's turned out fine and I'm hoping someday she overcomes her fear of people. As always, thanks for all the help from the TCS community.
