The only time Jake lets me touch him is if he's tired/sleepy. If he's just standing there and I touch his back he gets low to ground and walks away. It's almost like he hates me. But I know he doesn't.
Ashley will stick her butt in the air. Jake goes the opposite direction.
Cole does the lowering back thing too. With him, I give his tail a couple of gentle pulls(base to top, the whole tail), then he is fine. I have no idea WHY.
Another feline mystery!
Miquelito, Pouncierge , Rocca and John all have to be the ones that approach you.
They have to make the first move!
But they are not nearly as skittish as they were when they first came to the Hotel.
And they are warming up, as will your Cats.
It just takes time, TLC and Whiskas Temptations.
my only male cat, magic, has to approach you for affection. if you try to pet him, or worse, pick him up, you get hissed at and he runs. he's most affectionate when i'm on the computer, or in bed. he will join the others in yowling for food or treats, but don't touch him. OTOH, his mother, mojo, is ms pick me up and adore me, human. cats are a mystery ;)
When he's purrin and wants attention he won't get low. Just when he's being lovey dubby.
