I wish I could get that close :)
Give it time Evie. If you search the old threads, you will see that about a year and a few months ago I was posting that I could not touch or handle Jarvis, our F3 boy.
Time and love can conquer a whole lot. Jarvis now cuddles with me on the couch most evenings, sleeps in bed with me at night cuddled next to my leg, and greats me every time I come home by running up to the front door and giving me a headbut.
Ithey are worth the wait.
It will be even sweeter knowing that you have earned your little one's trust.

Thank you Nikki, did you wait until you could touch Jarvis to some extent before meeting your other SV? I let Kitoko out in my hall yesterday where she met my other two cats - safely behind glass doors - she seemed so keen to meet them I thought she would run back to the safety of her bedroom at the sight of them! I have been exchanging their blankets and toys so they are all aware of each other. My aim is just to do this for some time so they get used to seeing each other before finally meeting?. I wondered if I had done this too soon (three weeks) as after their meeting Kitoko seemed a bit stressed and looked as though she really wanted me to cuddle and comfort her. She stretched up against my leg but of course as soon as went to stroke her she ran off. She was kind of chirruping too? She did calm down quickly after I started playing with her but I felt as though i'd made a mistake. Lately she has followed me to the door as I leave - heart-melting! -so thought she might be ready to explore just a little more of her new home. Oh dear it is hard :(
