Well it does sound like progress. I can understand your feeling of failuer - I'd feel the same way... blame myself for somehow not being the perfect cat mom or something. But you really must remember its her and not you! You are SUCH A FABULOUS cat mom! With your patience and love she will come around, like many others said in the other thread, it took their cats til almost two to finally let their gaurd down and open up lovingly to their humans.
