My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Meet Gayle! She is a 2-year-old female who came in as a stray on 11/11. The finder noted that she "meowed a lot and was friendly."

Per staff 11/18: "Gayle wasnt as angry with me today! I have briefly met her/said hi to her a couple times before and she was not happy at all. Today she just gave some low growls while I was near her kennel trying to take her picture. No hissing or swatting and I got a good pic!"

Per staff 11/16: "Previously my only interaction with Gayle was hearing her growl when I would stop to say hi to her upstairs neighbor (behind a curtain and in her feral den). Today, however, there was a sliver of her kennel uncovered and she was at the front of it growling and half-swatting at people when they walked by. I knelt sideways to give her a chance and she calmed down a little (growling became more intermittent and she stopped swatting), but immediately escalated again when shifting my weight to let someone pass. Her pupils continued to dilate and she didn't return slow blinks.
Once she had a quiet moment I moved away and went to readjust her curtain and she attempted to swat me and then retreated. I will say it was a loud but half-hearted swipe. Don't even know if her claws were out."
