So it has been about 2 weeks since I got Mo, I adopted him at about 3.5 months of age. I don't think he is scared of me? He just isnt very social with humans (he has no problem playing with the other two kittens). The vet in charge of the shelter told me that he used to get pinned by his mother and sister while trying to play and eat.
While sometimes he is ok with me holding and petting him it is extremley rare (maybe once at the vet). I am trying to make this work with him,
when I pet his back he pushes his back to the ground and runs away. How should I handle this? Should I seperate him from the other two kittens and allow him to only socialize with me?
Please give me advice, I am trying to be patient. Sorry if this seems fragmented I just wanted to include as many of my concerns as I could in a short area. The shelter told me I should MAKE HIM let me pet him, does that mean if hes struggling to get away I shouldnt let him? For how long should I do this?
FRUSTURATION!
