Things are still slowly but surely improving!

Last night I was able to coax him out from under the bed (with a bowl of wet food) instead of moving the bed and having to fish him out.

I picked him up and carried him into the bathroom and set him down. Instead of going into that cat carrier, he sat there and looked at me like.. FOOD! GIVE ME THE FOOD!

So I did. And he ate outside the cat carrier, allowing me to pet him. He flinched a few times shyly if I moved too suddenly or if there was a noise.

Afterwards he ate some kitten crunchies, drank water, and used the litter box all while I sat there. He was VERY playful, pouncing at my hands and eye lashes. At times he'd go inside the cat carrier and peek his head out. After a few strokes, he'd come out and circle around, nudge my hand, show his belly, all the while purring up a storm.

I think the Feliway is working.... just not in the way I expected. I was hoping it'd make him more accepting to Zam & Kia. He still growls at them, but is getting over his shyness of me. Of course, I don't mind that at all. I'm winning the battle a little bit at a time.
