Cat Question or Suggestions

Hey all! I need some advice! heres some background

PK (female all black kitty!) was adopted by a friend of mine as a kitten. She is just over a year old...spayed, UTD on shots etc. Healthwise all appears normal. Long story short after my friend got PK he realise a kitty wasnt for him. He is visually impaired and was finding it a real challenge to have a kitty that climbed all over the counters etc. He had her for about 7 months then we found a home for her with another friend of mine.

Now the new home is a single male who does not really have alot of people around and most certainly a different home than her first home. Her first home there were always lots of people around and she also lived with a dog and they were best friends.

Her new owner absolutely adores her and fed her what I suggested rather than just kibble and he truly loves her. They certainly are a perfect match for each other. Both keep each other company!

I have been going over for the past couple of months every couple of days or when needed to feed her. So she has known me since she was a kitten because I used to clip her nails before in her first home. Now she is scared of me! she runs and hides under the bed and she will not let me pet her! she hisses and swats and me and even bit me a couple of times...never broke skin but just to tell me enough I guess!

I feel horrible that she is afraid of me! Any suggestions...bribing her with treats didnt work and toys no! today I made it quiet and she thought I left and came out from under the bed to just sit there and stare at me from a distance.

I personally thnk it is because she is not socialised? sounds funny but he rarely has people over and she is not used to anyone but him now? we have talked about him getting another kitty but my fear is that she would not be able to tolerate it and then what? 2 cats that dont get along?

He travels sometimes and is even willing to take her with him! he just loves her! he emailed me a few times already to see how she was and he only left on Monday and will be back on Friday!

I am stumped? how do I make her like me! I honestly have never had a cat or dog that didnt like me?????

Sorry it is long!

He is your friend, your partner, your defender, your dog. You are his life, his love, his leader. He will be yours, faithful and true, to the last beat of his heart. You owe it to him to be worthy of such devotion.
