Thank you! Its a relief to know 3 months is still a short time. I will continue to let him approach us on his own terms. I am leaving one of my t-shirts on the couch at night and I always find him next morning sleeping on it. It makes sense that he is trying to be close to us and cautious at the same time.I know it seems like an eternity but 3 months is a very very short time, especially for a scaredy cat- it can take 8 mos,a year or longer for a cat to acclimate and settle in
Boogie lying on your bed ,on your scent is affection- he's familiarizing himself with you through your scents so it isn't that he's not affectionate ,he's cautious,he's apprehensive and simply moving at his own pace- give it time my friend.
The best thing you could have done was adopting Yoda- Boogie will continue to ' copycat' and gain confidence as he tests the waters and sees he's not going to come to any harm- it's self preservation instincts,he will come around...... keep doing the great job loving them and all will be well in time
