Default Cat has a foot fettish ??? :)

How long ago did you get her?

She might be scared of how you are trying to pet her. She might have had a
bad experience. You might be acting aggressive in her mind. You said it
your self if you are slow. I will bet her breeder would snatch the cats up
instead of being a gentle handler.

Try sitting on the floor. take a treat she likes hold it in your hand. Let
her come to you. You can tempt her by tossing a treat to her than closer
and closer till she is eating out of your hand. This situation sounds like
a matter of trust and patience on your behalf. By the way congratulations
on becoming a cat slave. Welcome to the Union with special benefits

Got a ragdoll X cat, beautiful girl she is, but she has a wierd
problem..

She wont let me pat her at all with my hands, if I put my hands anywhere
near her she runs off, but if I try and scratch her with my feet, she
LOVES it ! will let me do anything to her with my feet

Sometimes if im very slow she will let me use my hands for a bit, but she
soon runs off..

Anyone know what could be going on here ? id love to be able to pat her
properly now and then

Any advice would be great.
Thanks.
