She will NOT be afraid of you for a year, like the feather wand. For one thing, she can live a year without a feather wand. She can't possibly live without her meowmie!

Just ignore her. Don't put out food on time, delay it a bit.. so she has to communicate with you to get your attention for feeding. You will find she will come to you most likely when you are sitting or lying down. It will take time but you have feeding time on your side.
