Closest thing for them to smell

Yup, pretty much. Eventually she gets used to the smell of the new shoes being of the old human, and stops caring about it. (In the meantime I just let her smell my hand, so she knows that I'm still myself, not some cat-eating alien abomination that took over the human and a threat to her well-being.)

New shoe smell masks the foot smell
