5 months ago I got a new kitten and my cat of almost 2 wasn't happy. He has never been a loving cat as he was treated badly as a younger cat and therefore we wound up with him. He used to say hello by rubbing up against us and sleeping at home all the time. These are both outdoor cats that spend loads of time in the garden. And they do play together as they are both young.... The older cats is always around somewhere and comes when we call him for treats and eats here all the time. He is ever far for this house. However he only sleeps here and has found a place for himself in the basement when the weather is bad. And when he is eating in the kitchen if I come in he runs out away pretty quickly. . He will still eat treats from my hand but won't eat his food if I am around. He never gives us leg rubs any more. And if you touch him he jumps - has always done this hut to a lesser degree so the trust we had established with him is gone. We treat him like a prince but he does I think reject us. Not sure what to think. My partner says he will come in and sleep when the weather is warm. I think he is mad that this is no longer is sole domain. Any thoughts. I spend so much time being upset about this and wondering why he is so rejecting of us.
