[Burnt Rice]

She became a lot more friendly after the manhandling. While it was probably not the best way to get her used to the concept of people touching her, it worked. She no longer lunged at peoples feet when they so happened to pass her. Worst was when she would sit next to the phone or your shoes. Then would attack you as you approached and tried to take your things.
Also, while I calling it manhandling, it was very gentle so not to hurt her. After all, it's easy to hurt a cat when it's claws and teeth are sunk into your flesh. One wrong move and rip. Painful for the both I'd imagine.
