her name is babycat. this is her:Maybe try making a big deal of her when you get home. Say "I'm home" when you come in the door. If she doesn't come greet you, say "her name, where are you?" Keep saying her name, till you find wherever it is she's sleeping. Then say "there you are." Even if she's asleep, pat her on the head. Scratch her chin. Tell her you missed her. Ask if she missed you. Ask her if she had a good day. Then ask "are you hungry?" Then go get her food ready. Don't just put it down, show her the dish and say "dinner's ready". Get her to understand those words mean food. And that you are the food provider. Course the result will be her eating, not cuddling with you, but at least she'll be responding to your words and actions.
Try not to expect too much from her. She is a cat and cats are by nature, independent creatures. That's why they can be left alone all day while their owner's are gone. And they do offer their affection on their terms. Usually when they want something.
What's your girl's name? Do you have a picture you can post of her?
i think she was given this name because she is very frightened and gets scared easily, similar to how a baby behaves yet she is 3 years old. i have no idea what babycat was like as a kitten. i assume very anti-social, trying to hide, not very confident, etc. lately i've just been not worrying about this. going about my business and doing what i need to do. simply feeding her and letting her sleep all day or wander around here and there
