The small person that Mommy calls Niece came yesterday. As I mentioned in my previous post, I love small people and they love me. In fact everyone loves me. Everyone but Niece. This perplexes me. I have tried on multiple occasions to make friends with Niece but they are usually met with screams and demands that someone pick her up. And one time when I tried to persuade her to share her cookies with me, she kicked me. I'm not sure how to win her over. I've tried my normal tactics...

Stare at someone while making my eyes look huge and sad (I think to myself, think sad, think I haven't been petted in ages, don't you want to love on this adorable little creature)

Follow person around until they eventually cave

Engage someone in play so they realize how fun I am

Appear cute and cuddly from afar

Sit polietly and wait to be engaged

Bark loudly so person can't ignore me

Yesterday my attempts were met with more screams. Niece acts as if I'm attempting to kill her. Mommy did appear frustrated and held me so my feelings weren't too hurt. Any advice on how to make her like me?
