Home More advice Pets & Animals

I live with my grandma and after our 18 year old cat died, I was broken so she let me get a kitten and she couldn't resist so she got one herself, they are half sisters, yet my cat is the one with all the attitude and hers is afraid of almost everything and everyone, she only seems to come to me to rub on me and everything, I mean no one really gives her attention so I try like hell to fill in everyone else. I mean my grandma gives her attention when she goes to bed but. We have never hurt her in any way, we have never deliberately scared her, and yet she seems so afraid, she doesn't get hostile with others or anything, she just seems to have trust issues with everyone except who lives here and my boyfriend. Is there anything else I can do to help her besides constantly playing with her and giving her attention?
