I helped socialize a bonded pair of brothers named Windy (grey) and Sunny (orange). Both were described as shy at first, but after a few weeks it was like a switch turned on in Windy's brain and he went from suspicious to a complete love bug/attention hog. It was to the point where I realized it was good he had a bonded cat buddy because he was TOO demanding of attention. Sunny learned by watching him and got better with people but was still shy. 6 months after they were adopted, Sunny was starting to bond with his people. It's good to have a pair where one is out going and one is shy but they both love each other. It's a well balanced household. I socialized them with the fleece ribbon wand. I would use it to get them to willingly come closer and closer to me. Then I started touching them with it. Then I tried brief touches on their paws. I got tagged once good for my trouble, but the step by step approach really worked. Like I said, that process took weeks. They came in at 6 months old, semi feral. Whatever you can do to get the cat to make it happen on their terms. pandaid fucked around with this message at 03:24 on Apr 6, 2016 |
