We've actually had some progress tonight! The big former-stray has taken a liking to her. Or at least, has accepted to her. He'll happily be in the same room/on the same bed as her and lets her play with his tail. He also shares food with her. The other two boys are curious and still hissing -...

Background: we have two lovely, friendly neutered male cats age 3 and 4. They like other cats and a year ago brought home and elderly and injured stray semi-feral that we patched up and neutered/adopted. He is at least 10. They all like other cats - they even make cat friends in the gardens and...

UPDATE: He is now an ultra-cuddly cat. One day it just clicked in his head and now all he wants is strokes and cuddles. I can still only really cuddle him on the bed, and he won't approach us - just sit and watch you with pleading eyes, but he LOVES being stroked now. Purrs ultra loudly and...

No - he doesn't rub up against us yet. He is still very, very scared. I can touch his nose and he'll sniff my hand, but that's it. I've tried stroking his head after but he isn't keen. Don't want to make interactions stressful for him, so just going to carry on taking it slowly and see what...

Update: The stray cat has really come along in the last few weeks. He is allowed garden access now, but has decided he'd rather stay indoors. We still can't pet him, but he follows me around the house and sleeps next to me every night. If I'm alone in the house he'll come and sit with me quite...

Oh and I have seen him use the other litter trays so he isn't holding it in. :/

I'm not sure… He's really confident and is the boss of the other cats for sure. Maybe it is a scent-marking/dominance thing? He is otherwise happy. He is a very sunny, purry, affectionate little chap with both us and the other cats.  Re:Hex - that's what our first cat was named after. His...

Hi all, I have three cats - all neutered males. The 'middle' cat is a 2-year-old neutered tom who really likes peeing in the bath tub. We took him to the vet when he first started it 18 months ago and the vet said he was healthy, so it was just behavioural. We have 5 litter boxes, all...

Update: I still can't stroke him - tried your advice but he really wasn't keen. BUT He sleeps on my legs every night and tends to follow me around the house. Subtly. He'll be in the same room as me, but he acts like it's a coincidence. He'll also come running when called - but that's mainly...

Update: the day that he knew was coming arrived… I lulled him in to a false sense of security, then kicked him in the head. In my defence, it didn't quite happen like that… The cat inexplicably decided to try and run between my legs, from behind me, when I was going down the stairs, so I...

So I thought I'd post this rather sweet update: we've had a few ups and downs - namely the stray inexplicably peeing on a suitcase full of Christmas presents, but we've turned a few corners too. I've been sick in bed with food poisoning for the last two days, and he hasn't left my side. He has...

Another update: The cat has recovered from seeing my darling husband-to-be naked. When I went to bed last night the cat was asleep on a chair at the end of the bed (this is a new thing - he is normally asleep under the bed in the pj drawer). He didn't panic or run away when we went to bed...

There's some things that even Feliway can't fix… 

Ok, we've had a setback… Stray cat followed me downstairs this morning and I gave him a bowl of food. He wasn't scared of me at all. Then, suddenly, the back kitchen door burst open and my husband-to-be ran in from the bathroom - dripping wet, naked and shouting. He'd forgotten to take a towel...

It's just a shame that he snores as loud as a bi-plane full of geese taking off.
