Mother's cat hates everyone who is not my mother. She tolerates me enough to let me medicate her (she might like me)

The kitten is terrified of my twin. My identical twin. Kitten likes me. Kitten lets me pick her up and kissy her. My twin? Scariest fucking thing ever.

Maybe it's like an uncanny valley situation for the poor thing.

It might be! Twin does live here, so you'd think kitten would have gotten use to it all by now, but perhaps not! Perhaps she knows they just wants to love her, and being a cat, wishes only upset upon them. This is what they think XD

You possibly look the same but smell different enough to be freaky. Maybe just luck she settled on you 🤔🤔
