I adopted 2 beautiful black cats 6 months ago when they were 7 months old (litter mates) that are extremely affectionate to each other, but see me as nothing more than a servant. Feed them, clean the litter box, but don't come near them. Taking a step towards them brings flight or hisses. They will come close to mooch when I am eating, but always just outside of arms reach. Occasionally, they will sit under my computer desk and "cuddle up" to my foot, but if my hand appears or if they see my face, they look for escape. It is particularly disheartening when I visit a friend with a cat the same age as mine and the cat will immediately shower me with attention whenever I visit. Any advise out there? I work from home and can spend considerable time with them. Thanks in advance!!
