'I feel like we take one step forward and two steps back': Siberian kitty hesitant with new owners after only 3 weeks, they seek internet advice on how to make her feel loved and safe

When getting a new pet, it can be intimidating to train him or her. No one can force an animal to love them, they can only treat them as best they can. Making the home feel safe is top priority, showing the animal love with pets and attention also help, but ultimately, the animal has a blueprint for their attachment and personality that training and nurturing can't always solve. 

The wholesome hooman in the story below struggles with her new Siberian cat. It's been three weeks, which is still early on. But the owner feels as though her cat should be more accustomed to spending time with her, snuggling her, and letting herself get picked up and pet. There's been some progress in that direction, but it's slow. The owner is at a loss; after trying desperately for her Siberian to love her, she goes to the internet to seek advice about her kitty's behavior.
