my cat Shy, was abused as a kitten before i got her, and as a result i could never pet her as she was very afraid of my hand, but as a kitten, she would always come into the bathroom after i had just taken a shower, and rub her head on my feet. well, to this day, (10 years later), i can use my foot to pet her head and she loves it, but she still reguards my hand with caution...she's so awesome...:) :)
