[header] How to earn a kitten's trust [title] Interact with your kitten in brief sessions. [step] If your kitten doesn't trust you, you should not overwhelm it with interaction. Let your kitten do its own thing most of the time, and interact with it in several short 15-20 minutes sessions over the course of the day. 
[substeps] These sessions might include play time with toys, talking to it, petting, feeding treats, or any other interaction. By the end of the day, the kitten should have spent at least two hours in total interacting with you.
