Hey I got my first pet and since its my first pet I don’t know really know how to show my love to her, so far she really hates getting touched.

Any advise would be lovely

    Be gentle and let her take her time to adjust. No sudden movements or loud noises. If she doesn’t want to be touched then it’s best to not touch her. She’ll adjust eventually.

    When I encounter a new cat, I offer my hand for a sniff, and if the cat acts scared or foes away, then I leave them alone. If they seem chill with it, I touch them a bit and see how they react.

    I recommend reading or watching videos about cat body language. Also, remember treats and the slow blink!
