Hi everyone...
The kittens in the cat family I'm fostering are 13 weeks old now. Still no takers, but only one has a personality I'm genuinely worried about when it comes to trying to place her.
She refuses to be touched. Even if she is sleeping or eating and I try to pet her, she will run away. She runs away every time without fail.
I am not sure what happened. She's never had anything bad happen to her and she used to be so cuddly and sweet when she was 6 weeks, then it started going down hill with her (they were all born in my house and handled from birth). All of her siblings love being touched and are very friendly. Her mom is also very friendly. Everybody is still together. I keep hoping her mother will magically cure her but hasn't so far.
She is confident enough to be around people, even sometimes sneak attack legs, but just no one can touch her. Ever.
Is there anything I can do? Will it make it worse if I force her? Is it just her personality?
I really don't see how anyone will want her as she is. Most people like being able to pet their cats. :\
