Hi, I know that this thread has been sleeping but I wanted to give a short update. I made some real progress with Solo, mainly from just "ignoring" him, I gave him his space didn't approach him and just did what I normally do when I enter the bedroom. He has started, this week, to jump up onto...

Hi Everyone, My kittens are both adjusting well, we haven't introduced them to the dogs yet so they are still in the master bedroom. Pumpkin is playful and friendly. Solo is still skittish. They are about 7 months old. I have made a lot of progress with Solo, he will now allow me to pet him...

I will haven't seen Solo return any of the blink, he will be watching me when I start but when I open my eyes he is looking away. I will try the chin thing.

Wow, thanks for all the great advice. We are on a schedule of sorts, wet food in the morning around 5:25am, a bowl of dry food for the day (working hours), I'm sure that during this time he relaxes and plays with Pumpkin-from the same foster, same age, then Pumpkin playtime with the girls from...

BG: Kitten Hiding, Am I Doing The Right Things? I've made some really great progress with Solo, he doesn't hide as often anymore. But he is still really skittish and will jump away if I walk to closely to him or move too quickly. If I am feeding him treats he will allow me to pet him along his...

One of my kittens likes to bite my feet and legs while I am sleeping. If it gets really painful or bothersome I pick her up and gently put her on the floor, sometime I do this 6-7 times a night but she eventually figures it out. And on the nights I just don't want to worry about it, I place a...

That is great advice, thank you. It has been about 3 week and I know it is all on his time schedule and I definitely don't want to rush him, but I would love to be able to feel him curl up on my lap and just pet him as he purrs. He has started to purr really loudly when he is laying down a few...

Thank you for all of your help. I think we just have a long and slow road ahead of us

Update: Pumpkin has started letting my daughter carry her around like a baby, I think it is cute but I also try to get my daughter to not do it too often. Solo has started to stay out more frequently but will still run and hide after a few seconds if my little girls enter the room. With me he...

I will be hoping for a misdiagnosis as well. I've been through something similar and I will be hoping for the best outcome.

The first picture is a little blurry, it is so tough to get a good picture when they don't want to stay still (Pumpkin) or want to hide behind things (Solo). The right one is Pumpkin, the second one is Solo. Last night neither was showing as much interest playing with their toy. I think I...

I really like the idea of a scratcher. I might see if he would tolerate the feel of anything touching his back.

Okay, I've made some really good progress with Solo :-) I do have another question for people who have a shy/skittish cat. Solo will now play really close to me, even dart beneath my legs ( I sit on the ground and bend my legs like a little tunnel) rubbing against me. If he notices where he...

Thanks for the articles.

I've made some good progress with Solo, he will now come out and play with Pumpkin and myself as long as I have a long toy. He will play with it and lay about a foot away. He still won't allow me to touch him and he still hides when I am walking or entering the room, but he now waits a few...
