...for your pet to bond with you? I'm just curious.

year maybe, my cat was a stray before we had her so she was pretty skittish for a long time

 

[Ahsoka]

Mine took about 2 seconds

I feel like mine all bonded almost instantly or within a few days, every animal is different though.

Lucy was super shy when she got to my place, she was hiding for 3 days, then little by little I bribed her with food and after a day or two I became her mom. We besties now.

Mine was quick. Although, I was more focused on the fact that he wasn't taking to food well... since well [tl;dr: I got him from an acquaintance who owed me like $300 and couldn't pay me back. I ended up paying the difference and ended up with him @ six weeks and unbeknownst to either of us... that particular breed should not be away from its mother until ~12 weeks... This is prolly why he didn't really take to food right away]. I'd say less than a week. I was cutting his hair within the first month, so... I'd say I had gained some degree of trust.

I brought him home from out when he was just born last night so naturally, very easily. But if your cat is traumatized it can take months.

Mine bonded quickly and she gets super excited when anyone arrived home and sad when we leave her

A few days

I remember that it didn't take that long but I can't say exactly

For my first pet, she bonded with me right away but when we got our second one she distanced herself. Then like a year or so later she and I bonded again and she would always be in my room no matter what-when she passed away our second pet really connected with me (she used to be really bonded to my oldest sister).

And my dog? I think she bonded with everyone right away. I prefer cats for that reason.
