Hey,
My kitty is a little over a year. For a reason unknown, she is very scared a won't come near me anymore.I start to cry (im not a baby) when I think about it because I love her so much. What can I do? I really want to spend time with her. Especially today because it is thanksgiving. I am soooooooooooooo grateful for her. By the way , she is an outside cat. Please help me, I'll try anything at this point. She'll come next to me very rarely, and I can't remember anything bad I have done to scare her by accident or somthin. (p.s) im 12

I was reading all your other post that you had on this site. You've been forcing your cat on a leash (even though she's an outdoor cat), bathing her in water (even though you said she was clean and didn't like it one bit) and possibly trying to clip her nails. I can understand why she doesn't want to come near you. I think you should stop trying to get her on the leash, don't put her in anymore water and don't try and clip her nails yourself. If her nails must be clipped, ask your mom or dad to do it.
My advice is spend quality time with her. Don't run after her if she won't come up to you. If you do get her to come to you, don't force her to stay in your arms. Play with your kitty and be nice to her. Get a long piece of string and try and see if she'll chase after it. You want her to see you as someone who is fun and nice to her. Then if she let's you get near her gently pet her, but don't pick her up. You need to gain her trust in you again. Give it time and always be kind to your kitty. If you try and force her to do anything again (like putting her in water), she will become scared of you and won't want to come near you. Good luck and remember...Be nice.
