My 11 month old kitten seems to dislike me lately, I have a feeling it has to do with being the one who doctors her (drops in ears, nail clipping, eye drops etc-all of which she hates) while my daughter holds her.
She adored me before I started doing this myself (we usually bring her to agency we adopted her from and they do nail trims, revolution, ear cleaning, drops etc for a simple donation), but the woman hasn't answered the phone for a while; so I do it all myself now.
I should also mention no matter where I am she finds a way to be in front of my feet at all times and usually gets caught in my feet as I turn to walk.
She never gets hurt just a lot of quick foot contact. She used to lay with me, cuddle up, and cling to me, now I can't even touch her unless she is laying down somewhere.
When I do try and she is not laying down, her tummy hits the floor as she tries to get away from my touch. I do not force her to anything, and I try to tread very carefully around her, but I want my cuddle monster back
She will come into my room sometimes at night and cuddle up with me again, but ONLY at night, if I wake up and try to pet her when she's fully awake she reacts the same way she normally does, tries to get away from my touch as fast as she can.
She now belongs to my oldest daughter, by that I mean she is my kittens person now, she will only let my daughter pet her without her tummy hitting the floor, and even
goes to her door with the duster, banging on it to get her to come play.
She has an 11 month old sister also, but they seem to get along just fine, lots of licking and playing, this is aimed at the humans, aside from my oldest.
