I might even be starting to like cats now!

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

When back inside the tiredness come over kitty with fastness but he is not giving cuddles. He IS letting me pet him with no attacking. So, plus one. There is still trying to eat my ankles but maybe I shower more? Rub flowery lotion he does not like taste of?
We will continue to nature walk and gentle petting. For my safety cereal no longer can be on top on refrigerator.

I was going to make him do the cuddles.
He and I will have much to think about today.
Sounds like progress! The loud purrs lol

Yes, and for a very cat-like dog, get a dachshund.
