Your best bet to gain her trust is to understand her: She is very shy. Does not like strangers and for that matter does not trust humans. She was abused on the streets in Centreville Virginia by the neighborhood kids. They would throw rocks and hit her with sticks and other items. I broke up several of these sessions myself before Greet choose to move in with us. Thus, she is not really approachable, especially with out-stretched arms, sudden movements, and any perceived aggressive acts. Best way to attract her is to sit with your back to her, and let her come to you. You can coax her with food, treats or soft calls of her name and nick names. Do this and she will come to you and rub all day long looking for the love that she so deserved when she was a kitten.
