My boy is getting SO big, yet he is still very skittish aournd hoomns. Since I've been home (on bed rest blah ) I've been trying to work with him to make him understand that all people aren't mean and that he isn't going to get hurt by being around people. I know he LOVES attention because when I manage to pet him he purrs up a storm and every once in a while I can pick him up and he cuddles with me. The last couple of days, I've noticed that he'll follow me, cautiously of course lol but he still follows. If I am quiet and speak gently to him he'll roll on his back and I can pet his belly. Today he even played with me

I just had to post as I am happy that he is finally learning to trust me. He is fine around the other cats (he isn't intimidated at all, go figure). I hope someday he'll at least learn to trust hubby but if he decides he just wants to be a one person kitty, thats ok too.

Anyone else have a cat that acts perfectly happy with other cats but just is terified of people? How did you get the kitty to trust you?
