I wanted to post this on here to ask if there is anything we can do to improve the relationship with our cat.
Our boy cat Sezer is 2 and a half years old.
He's never been a cat that will come to you for strokes or cuddles.
If i pick him up after a couple of seconds he meows and struggles to be down.
The only time i get to stroke and tickle him is when he is half asleep and when i do he purrs and seems to like it.
Generally he spends a lot of time outside and comes in when dark. After eating and preening he disappears to his hammock. He does purr and comes to us when we come home to let him in, but that lasts about 5 seconds.
Id love him to sit on my knee and to stroke and tickle him.
We still love him to bits but wondered if there was anything we could do to persuade him to be closer to us, allow us to pick him up, persuade him to sit on our lap or generally give some affection back.
