Kitten doesn't like to be touched

scmp

Oh my they are adorable!
Three weeks to getting one loving being fussed and the other sitting next to you and wandering around is really good i think. It took three weeks to get my rescue kitten to come out from behind the cheese plant!!!!
Everyday i moved his food futher and futher away from him just a few inches at a time. When every i went to near he would hide behind his plant pot (which was hugh and near a corner of the room). Slowly but surely i started to talk to him and just 'be around' when he was eating and then gently stroking him while he ate. He does all ways purr when he eats now though lol

It took him years before being comfortable in the back garden with his bodyguard 'me' but he was never very affectionate. Just used to curl up near me so he could see me and purr! Now the little 'treasure' clambers all over me, i wake up in the morning and he is an inch away from my face, stealing my 'spot' on the sofa and insists in lying leaning on me to curl up or clamber 3 leggedly onto my lap.
Sudden movements and loud bangs and he is off still but i guess thats trauma and the fact he is a bit of a lazy wimp

It just takes time. He might just be happy being like that to be honest but eventually he will be king of cuddles

Thanks guys, will carry on being patient, have also been recomended putting some primula cheese spread on our fingers to let him lick it off.
