Cat is not trusting of certain person?

We've had the cat for about 4 months now. Although she was very scared at first, I'd say she trusts me completely (I can pick her up, she sleeps on my back next to me, etc.) but it doesn't work with my mother. She does run around her legs but is much more cautious with her and gets scared more quickly. If my mother, for example, moves her hand too quickly towards her, she jumps away. My mother has never done anything that could have scared the cat. It was clear that she could have trusted me more because whenever she first ventured out from under the cupboard, I spent a lot of time with her and approached her very slowly, but I don't understand why she's so scared of my mother. The only reason why this could be the case is that the cat was previously caught by a cat catcher and examined by a vet, and is therefore generally more cautious around women. Unfortunately, I sometimes notice that my mother is a bit disappointed because she obviously had different ideas about having a cat. What can I do to make her more trusting? becomes my mother?

Give her time. Cats come all by themselves when they are ready for it.
And you only have them for 4 months, that's what's coming:)

Hello,

Your mother could build more trust in your cat with the following things:

  • make at least 1x a day with their throwing games and let them hunt (sweeping lingerie or dry food through the apartment)
  • Clicker training, for example, give paws
  • wet hands with valerian
  • more and often go to eye level with the cat (setting on the floor, offering leakage)
  • speak with gentle voice with the cat (more singing at talking)
  • gentle, slow movements near the cat

I don't think your cat remembers the catching situation and brings it to your mother. It will be more the body size, the tuning position, the body movements.

In addition, it is necessary to remember that cats do not like everyone and do not like them.

Best regards 🙋 ♀️ +😺 +😺

Hello, your cat thinks that your mother wants to grab you. If your cat goes to your mother, then she should talk to the cat first and then slowly stretch out the hand.
