pmgr -- he's not afraid in the least. It's a total cat game. If I chase him in the open, he'll run from me in "terror" about 15 feet, then he'll usually stop in his tracks, look behind him to make sure I'm still "chasing" him, and then "run" at a leisurely trot to a hiding place. He's showing me he has the upper hand and that things will progress as he decides they will. IOW, he's a perfect unspoiled feline!

Storm is reflecting on how well his plan is coming to fruition....First, get that damn stupid, smelly Ape trained, and the rest is History.....

Another milestone -- the 4 were on the bed for several hours, leaving Mikech alone. He decided he wanted up on the bed with the others. Well, the top of the bed is now another Safe Zone -- I approached him right before this was taken, and petted the others first. When I got to him, he flinched and tensed like he was going to bolt, then when I put my hand on him, he immediately relaxed a bit and let me pet him. Then, a few minutes later, back on the floor, he's running from me in "terror"!

And....I just saw him chasing Robocat up the cat tree and nipping at his tail. The first time I've seen him playing with one of the big cats!

The food dish became a "safe area" today, like under the bed. He let me walk right up to him when I put the dish down, and let me pet him before digging in. Any other times he runs away like always.
