I get the idea about the wild animal not wanting you to approach it. But the pussycat comes close and wants to be petted.
Clearly you don't get it Lotus, Pussycats are NOT wild animals... right now his wife is NOT in a domestic cat state of mind, she's a wild animal in a cage, she's made this clear to him on a number of occasions.
Just leave her be OIN... she will come to you when she's ready.
