    crazed cats

    I've read about this phenomenon before as it concerns cats who were separated from their mothers and siblings too soon--it seems like it's a cat socialization-learning thing. Animals, just like human children, need role models for good behavior. So the only thing I'd add to Cary's answer is for future rescuers of abandoned kittens: consult a veterinarian EARLY about socialization issues.
