I'll be honest, after 2 months my expectations are that she is able to be touched and doesn't fear the slightest movement in the house. From the extensive reading I did beforehand, this seems like quite a long time for a cat that hasn't been mistreated. Unfortunately my issue is that we don't have time; I've been working in Switzerland for 2 years and have recently found out due to coronavirus I'll be finishing my contract and having to return to the UK at the end of the year. I'm concerned if she still has no kind of bond with me by then, the trauma of the move will be even more damaging for her, so am really keen to make sure she feels safe enough with me by that point that she can cope with the unexpected move.
I've felt quite stressed about it but have made sure when I'm visiting her in her room I'm calm, speak softly and happily for a little bit, and then just get on with my work or whatever so she can get used to me. She still seems to have a look in her eye like she hates me!
Thanks for the link, will have a look at that now, it's much appreciated. Will keep my fingers crossed!
