Just like anything with cats, this too requires patience. Cats move at their own pace, especially when it comes to warming up to someone new. It's a cat's world, and we're just living in it! Don't let our cat know what we said that, please.

This is true for cats, but it's also true for life. It's easier to catch a fly with honey than with vinegar, as they say. The same is true for cats, better to give them their space and offer them something sweet to help them learn to trust you. Who doesn't love treats?
