Going quite slow with Mowgli. Don't worry there. ^.^ The biggest thing I've done is moved his cage so that he's in a room where both Zelda and I spend quite a bit of time. Other than that, I just talk to him and give him treats. And dangle the feather in his cage - which most of the time he ignores, but sometimes he takes a few swats at. Of course, he's still hissing at me, but nowhere near as much as he was right at first. Currently he's just sitting by his shoebox and watching me type this out.

I almost think that when Zelda's in here, I could reach in the cage and pet him all I wanted. That's how focused he is on her. But I value the use of my hands to much to try a stunt like that. The most I do is dip a finger between the bars for a quick scratch. The general rule seems to be that when he's purring, it's safe to slip a finger in there. And Mowgli always starts purring when he sees Zelda.
