Why do my 3-month-old kittens avoid me? How can I make them like me?

Question

My cat had kittens and they keep running away from me when I get close. Why are my 3 month old kittens afraid of me even though I give them they're needs and how do I make them like me. Pet's info: Cat | American Shorthair | Female | spayed | 10 lbs

I doubt they are afraid of you, so much as they are just WAAAAYYY to busy. Kittens tend to function in 2 speeds---overdrive mode or sleep mode. Interact with the kittens with toys, engage them with wand type toys. (this type of thing) https://www.petco.com/shop/en/petcostore/product/jubilee-beaded-bow-cat-teaser-toy. Hand feed them treats or little bits of tuna. Kittens are full speed ahead most of the time! I hope that helps you! Thank you for asking PetCoach!
