[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, it can take a cat a long time to warm up to a person.

Keep trying different things -- toys, catnip, treats.  But don't hold/cuddle too much.  With cats, you want to invite them, not force them.[/quote]

My tiny ferocious house jaguar has rejected the catnip and also cat treats. He does not like food that is not crunchy. All foods much be crunchy, like the breaking of bones in his sharp little teeth, I think. No wetness for this cat! He would like to snap bones of the animals in his jaws! We are making much eye contact and staring at long times from across the room with no movements at each other, just angry stares.

Once I make the movement in the directions of the kitty he shows much displeasure buy making many loud meows and running with fast speed from the bookshelf to the table to the sofa to the next room like he has taken much cat drugs. I cannot catch him despite many attempts to try to catch and cuddle.

Now it is walk time. We cannot make our walk until I do catch him to insert him into his leash. Once we are outside he will be stalking his bird friends that he I am sure would wish to eat. Much like he also wishes to eat my large toe and my ankles and my ankles and my legs. [/quote]

You're definitely the most entertaining of possibly fake posters we've ever had in the Pets forum, OP. I can't fairly call you a troll because you don't seem to be interested in causing trouble. But, in case you're for real, here's a few things to remember.

Like others have said, you can't force a cat to give up the cuddles. All you can do is be calm, almost Zen like, and communicate to the kitty that you are available for cuddles when he's ready. He's young, yet, and your home is still new, so you have to be patient. Keep playing with him, petting him when he comes around, and enjoying the purrs when he sleeps near your head. When he gets the kitty zoomies and runs around the house, this is just him playing and exercising. Don't try to capture him. Just keep trying to play, dangling the feather or playing with a laser toy. Also, be glad he isn't doing this at 3am when you want to sleep. My cats seem to especially like running games at 3am.

Loud meows are his way of talking to you. Talk back! The meows might not be angry, as you perceive. The longer you know each other, the more you'll come to understand what all his different meows, squeaks and purrs mean. Also, you may not know this, but direct eye contact is a sign of love from a kitty! If you get slow blinks during direct eye contact, even better. Also, depending on the breed, a tail held up question mark style is also a sign of love. So, maybe, just maybe, your tiny ferocious house jaguar likes you more than you know and maybe is just trying to teach you how to love him back.

Finally, yes, kitties are little pains sometimes, and I can totally see yours knocking over the cereal at the most advantageous time to get your attention. But, don't give them too much credit. Their brains are pretty small and the likelihood of them plotting and waiting for you to change the toilet paper is probably more deviousness than they can handle, especially when it's just as easy to knock something else off another shelf.  Odds are, the toilet paper incident is a crime of opportunity.

Keep at it, OP. You and your kitty are making progress! And keep us updated. You're very entertaining, real or not.[/quote]
