Whew - I am glad to know that it's normal! LOL She will come towards me but then when I try to pick her up she does the backing away thing, she kind of lays down sort of a little to one side and looks at me like she's scared to death! If I don't tell her to stay, she'll go around in circles. But then if I back away she'll come towards me again. Kind of strange, but then she's only been with me for 3 weeks so I'm hoping it will get better.
