Hello all! we finally got our semi-feral inside two weeks ago. After we caught him, we brought in his outdoor house for comfort. It is sitting on top of our dryer. Kubo's safe spot is between this house and the wall.
This means when I come in for socialization time and feeding, he can pretty much withdraw and not even have to look at me. He is eating (somewhat begrudgingly) in front of me, and will kind of slink around me but primarily he camps out in that corner. Obviously it hasn't been that long since he has come into our home and he is an adult, so we expected some intense avoidance and I am not trying to rush him into anything.
My question is: Going forward, is this setup going to be an issue in getting him to interact with me? I don't want to take away his safe spot, but as this is my first time socializing a cat, I'm not sure just how important it is for Kubo to be able to watch me while I'm in his space.
