Is this new? Are you newly taking care of this kitty?
One thing that helps cats who are bonded to someone, who then leaves, is to have some unwashed clothing with scent of the owner on it for them to sleep with.
Cats can be inscrutable at times, but they do mourn and miss a loved one. Tippy used to mourn hubby when he came home to work when we were on vacation. But if I left his robe out for her, she seemed better about it.
Cats can be very illogical...as they don't have executive functioning in the frontal lobes. But they are quite emotional and devoted on the other hand.
You can get her to bond more with you by using the same phrases your daughter used to talk to the kitty, and offering a wonderful treat now and then in between meals. We have found that FOOD is a royal road to any cat's heart, and can accomplish much!
