Cats love sleeping, having alone time, playing, and cleanliness. Preparing comfortable and clean spaces for your cat can help her relax and more readily accept you as her caregiver and “parent.”  You may want to prepare a cozy bed for your cat. You can either buy a cushy pet bed or even make one yourself. Cats love boxes and making a bed out of a box with some blankets or towels in it may just be the trick. Consider putting something you wear in the bed to help her get used to your scent. Make sure your kitty has a clean and new litter box.  You may want to create a space where your kitty can play. For example, you could purchase a scratching post or have a box of toys she can chew and fetch that you put in an easily accessible area of your living room.  Have another space designated for her food dishes. This can encourage her to eat in one place and lets her know that her meals will always be in the same place. Your cat's health relies in part on getting regular and healthy food. But you can also use her feedings to help establish your bond and help her love you.  Consider feeding your kitty at the same time every day so that she gets into a routine and can approach you when the time(s) comes. Feed your cat a mixture of canned wet food, from which she can also get some moisture, and dry food. You can either mix these or put them in the different dishes. Give your kitty a bowl of water, too. Make sure to fill the dish with fresh and clean water every day. Many feline health professionals recommend feeding your cat at specific mealtimes as opposed to free feeding, which can make her gain weight. It's best to not feed your cat table scraps, which can upset her stomach. If your cat is hesitant to come near you, place a cat treat on your hand, call her name, and let the cat eat it. This can show her that she can trust you and enjoy your company. Be careful feeding your cat too many treats, which are often filled with sugar and can contribute to unhealthy weight gain. If you are concerned about this, consider giving her a taste of canned food instead. Cats are very sensitive to cleanliness, especially that of their litter box. Clean your cat's litter box daily, or more if needed, to help keep her happy and healthy.  Consider purchasing a new litter box whenever you get a new cat and make sure it is large enough for the size cat you have. This can minimize the risk that she smells another cat and doesn't want to use the box. Litter boxes that are not clean can be frightening to cats, undermining your attempts to get her to like you.  Cats do not avoid the litter box out of spite. Instead, it's a sign that something is wrong. Determine what the problem is and rectify it as soon as possible.  The most common reasons cats won't use a litter box are: the cat is not neutered; she is unhappy with something about the litter box such as size or type of litter; she is sick; she feels unsafe around other cats; she is stressed by something and marking her territory.  If you cannot clean the litter box regularly, you may want to invest in an electronic litter box, which will automatically clean the litter as soon as your cat is finished using it. You can purchase these at most pet stores. A healthy cat is a happy cat, which will make her less likely to snap or dislike you. In addition to feeding and cleaning her litter box regularly, watch for signs of sickness or disease and visit your vet if something concerns you.  Not using the litter box can be a sign of a urinary tract infection, which will require that you visit the vet. Like humans, dental issues can be serious and painful for cats. Watch for signs that eating is difficult for her including eating less, weight loss, or eating only on one side of her mouth. Cats also need regular vaccinations against rabies, and distemper. Schedule an annual visit with your vet to get these vaccinations and have your cat's overall health checked.
