Thank you for all of your advice. I know it will take time and that's OK. It's OK too if he won't be a lap cat, as long as he is safe and warm and well-fed. He's such a cutie!

I feel bad that he doesn't trust me, especially after trapping him and taking him to the vet. But hopefully, he will soon enough. I love sitting with him in the room, even though he's under the bed. I have been talking with him and blinking with him, even singing to him, which is scary enough.

Thanks for all of your kind words.
