Why is my kitten scared of my husband? Tips to help them bond.

Question

My hubby and I adopted a 3-5 months old female spayed kitten. Our kitten "Angell", is afraid of everyone except for me. As soon as she sees my hubby, she runs and hides. We have tried many different ways to try and help her, but nothing has worked. I am hoping someone may have suggestions that we can try, please? My hubby has tried giving her treats, feeding her, playing with her but to no avail. She is definitely a mommies girl, but would love to see her become a daddies girl also.

It sounds like you're trying all of the right things, like having your husband be in charge of meals and other 'fun' things. It might help if you're not around while he's feeding her or playing with her. It takes some kittens a long time to become adjusted to new people and a new environment, so be patient and give her time.
