When he first moved in, he would barely let us pet around his ears. He is slowly starting to trust us more; now he gets belly rubs, and he will even sit on my lap for a minute to get attention.
But, he won't let me hold him, and he doesn't like his paws touched. Tonight while playing with a fishing pole toy, he got the string wrapped around his arm. I had to remove it . He let me, but he was uncomfortable. He doesn't even think about letting me pick him up.
Is this something that comes with time? I know he trusts us more, but I don't know how much to expect his personality to change. Is there anything I can do to specifically bond with him though touching? I already brush his hair every night, and he gives me about five minutes as long as I don't smother him.
