Sit or lie down on the floor. Ignore the cat. Read a book. Give it half an hour. See what happens. Better, report it here :)

Yep, lay on the floor propped on one arm reading a book say. Then flat on your back with sommat for your head. I bet before long she is walking on you.

Cats can be incredibly vain and will do their utmost to get your attention. Especially if you show indifference. It's worth a shot.

Yep tried that, she just likes it that way Yet she will follow Hubby around, and roll over for belly rubs, purrrrr just at the sight of him eeerrr!

I was just thinking maybe she should wear catnip somewhere on her person at all times ~ heh.

Trust me I have tried the cat nip thing thanks for your in-put I think

Not pinned to myself but made her loads of toy mice with cat nip stuffed inside, all she dose is gathers them up and hides them under my bed!

Yes brushing a long haired kitten is wise, other wise later on she will not tolerate it, and it is the one thing she loves to have done... then I give her a treat, and she is off.... meeeeeeeeeeeeeowwwwwwwwww tried all that , it just becomes a stale mate!

Some cats are naturally aloof, if she's one of that kind there's not a lot you can do ...........

Yes I very much think the little bugger is enjoying my consternation! The look on her face at times is one of total pleasure as she watches me, try yet more thing to help us bond!

I agree, I have had many cats over the years, but all boys, never had this problem before. I do love to site and watch her wash and play, and she has so many funny ways, she just dose not want a bar of me!

(I also have a 3 month old kitten I've had a week...she thinks my thyroid is her pillow...)

There is a book - ''How to Get Your Cat to Do Anything You Want It To"
Warren Eckstein
The BEST!!!!
After Chapter One you may see a change in her.
Good Luck - and cat treats are good, yes.
Speak to her sweetly and low, also.

Thanks I will give anything a go right now LOL thanks for the help x

O she is walking on me ok LOL all over me! we got three little dogs as well they get more fuss than I do, still I guess she is still very young, things could change as she gets older...or worse

Thanks every one

Try giving her a slow blink if you get eye contact. It's cat talk for I'm friendly. I do it to my cat and she gives it back. We call it cat kisses.
