Hey I got my first pet and since its my first pet I don't know really know how to show my love to her, so far she really hates getting touched.

Any advise would be lovely

I don't have a lot of experience with cats specifically, but pets need time to get used to a new home. This can take up to three months.

If this is day one, give them some space, blink slowly at them; let them know you're gentle and there if needed.
