My sister said ignore the hissing and just pet the cat anyway, worst advice ever

My sister told me that when my rescue cat Mooch hisses at me, I should just reach out slowly and pet her anyway to show I'm not scared. I tried it three times last week and got a scratch on my left hand that needed a bandage for two days. Now I'm back to sitting on the floor and letting her sniff me first before I even move. Has anyone else had a cat that hissed for months before finally letting you touch them?

Three bandages? That's a Tuesday for most cat owners.

Heard my buddy had to wrap his whole arm after trying to clip his cat's nails. He wasn't even trying to be fancy about it.
