In the middle of June, a fluffy feral kitten appeared on the social media feed for a B.C. sanctuary for the first time – hissing with her ears flattened and claws bared, taking a swift swipe at a human hand poised for a pet.

“Hi. I’m Marilyn. I’m 10 weeks old and I don’t like you. Don’t look at me. Don’t talk to me. And definitely don’t try to pet me,” the caption read.

“I didn’t ask to be rescued. I was perfectly happy being a tiny menace in the wild. But now I live in a house with a ‘foster human’ who keeps trying to win me over with kindness. Rude. Anyway, here’s a video of me swatting her. Enjoy.”
