First of all, welcome to Pet Talk. I was fortunate enough to visit your wonderful country in 2000 and fell in love with it. Everyone was so nice to us and curious about Americans.

I will seem to be driving everyone's point home with a hammer, but I agree with all of the advice everyone has already given you. PATIENCE! Each cat has a very unique personality and you need to let it reveal itself. The next thing to consider is TRUST! She needs to get to know you on her terms and feel confident that you aren't going to do anything unexpected to her.
And to accomplish that it just takes time. She will let you know what she likes and ask for it.


Especially if she is pregnant, she just might be feeling a little grumpy.

My Rascal kitty was a stray that I adopted. Even though he was friendly, at first, sitting on my lap was out of the question. Today as I sit here trying to type this, I cannot keep him off my lap. But it took time and his trust to get to this point.

Good luck and please keep us posted on your beautiful little girl.
