He will-I assure you,he will....Yeah, you are right. I never expected him to be a lap cat (the idea that we all have in mind of one). I am just worried that he gets very anxious and every interaction we have its like he has to warm up to us before fully relaxing. Also if he is out of the kitchen and catches our eye, he runs back to it. This is what I am worried about, him being so anxious… Also the fact that I cant pet him, at all. I stopped trying because I read it would be better for him to initiate, but him being so anxious makes me think the petting is so far away from happening… it makes me sad cause I dont mind him not being a “traditional” lap cat, but I do wish he interacted with us more, even if it was laying a couple feet from us in the room we were in, which has only happened twice for now…
Have you spoken with your Vet about his high anxiety? Your Vet might be able to help with a very low dose Rx to help along the way-,sometimes a temporary medication can benefit in acclimating a stressed kitty to a new home and a new home with new parents.....maybe a little gabapentin,inquire of your Vet--- there's also many over the counter products as well but I would not recommend anything without suggesting you consult your Vet first
It does not mean they need to be medicated forever, short term ..... can't hurt to ask. Do you have a Feliway diffusers plugged in?Feramone diffusers can also help comfort an anxious kitty-does Boogie like catnip,many kittens don't but it's worth a try
