Hi,
Our Katie, a 1-year-old black cat, is a lovely little thing.
For the last year that we've had her, she's been up on my girlfriend's lap on the sofa most evenings; though, recently, with the better weather, we've let her out a lot more.
But Katie got a stomach virus a few weeks back, meaning we had to give her medication. My girlfriend had to administer a tablet orally every night for nearly a week. Since then, Katie has been less inclined to be in that room, more inclined to be outside and, most concerningly, fearful of being touched by my girlfriend; she now shies away from her.
Does anyone have any tips for restoring things to how they were, making Katie more inclined to trust my girlfriend and I again, that we're not going to ram things down her throat all the time?
Thanks.
