3 years and this cat still won't let me touch him unless I put tuna fish in my hand which he approaches very cautiously. Not that I want to touch him, I don't fucking like cats. But I want to pick up this cat because I feel like he's missing love and doesn't know it. And that's how arrogant I am, like I'm so special that this goddamn cat wants to be picked up by me. The goddamn cat just wants to survive without me calling him Captain Whiskers.
No, I agree with your first instinct. It would be nice to pick him up and help knock some of the feral out of him. I say keep trying. He doesn't know what affection is like. Domesticated cats, as snotty as they can be, can also be very snuggly and get a lot out of human petting and stuff. They wouldn't be all over in your lap and stuff in they didn't like it (on their terms, of course).
That's what Jesus would do.
I take this magical freaking sleeping pill at night but I literally can't be on the forum after I've taken it--I haven't taken it yet tonight but I'm about to. I tried to post something the other night and a few sentences took me ten minutes to type and even then they were completely incomprehensible.
Shame but I sleep like a baby.
