I am picking her up and petting her around others. A brave friend petted her and she let him but she hissed. No one is brave enough to touch her. She was VERY WILD when I got her and was about 4 years old. Unfortunately, she typically scratches first than hisses later. She lives entirely inside. She basically stays in two connecting rooms but will wander the rest of the house in a skittish way. She will hide in the corner of her two connecting rooms for the entire time anyone comes to the house. I have brought people to her room and I pet and hold her but she is very scared. I hate that she is so scared and I like having people over. Any advice?
