I once again groomed the little Persian who bit me. Noticed she is "hand shy". If I move my hand towards her head, she ducks away. Grooming went much better, just focused on getting it done. Poor creature is truly scared of grooming.
I wonder if sweet-talking and babying a scared cat is actually destructive.
Women will know what I mean. Have you ever been in a date that goes bad? You realize you don't like or trust the guy, or you just aren't feeling well, so you want to go away as soon as you can? Yet the guy keeps trying, puts his hands on you, talks to you like you're his girlfriend-- and you want even more strongly to get away until you feel almost desperate?
I hope I am not that guy for cats, but fear that I sometimes am.
