            This stray cat usually hisses when she sees me around.  I just usually give her food and walk away. She then comes near the food when I am away or gone. She does not come near me but waits for food. It's been like this for months.  But lately, she now come near me and meows at me asking for food and does not make a hiss sound. I could now walk around my garden where she always roam and doesn't mind me at all now or doesn't run away when I am around.  But still, I have not tried to pat her. 
But I'm just glad she's comfortable now with our presence. She isn't suspicious anymore of the people in the house

                            @LadyDuck i wish to do that too and even bath them as they smell bad. And hopefully domesticate them, but i don't think that will be easy

                            @hotsummer But cats also like to be spoken to for an approach.

                            She is the cat that took longest to get her trust.  Usually it takes a day or two with other cats i cared for

                            @hotsummer Like human beings some take more time to trust others.
