Hi, there. This is my first time using this forum but I find the information here quite helpful. I do have a question that some of you may know the answer to. My boyfriend and I just brought home our persian kitten named Menchi last Friday. Menchi comes to me when I call him, purrs and begs for affection. However, he doesn't do this with my boyfriend. When my bf pets him, he tries to get away from him and he hardly comes to him when he's called. My bf is of course a little jealous of the attention that I get but confused as to why this is so. He's been trying to get him to feel comfortable by spending time with him alone, playing with him etc.. but he still remains aloof around him. At the same time, he's warmed up a lot more around me. Is this something temporary? Does anyone have advise on how to get the kitten to like everyone in the home? Any explanation for this behavior? Thanks in advance.
PS: we also have a siamese kitten that we adopted 6 weeks ago. he easily got attached to both of us. i tease my bf about liking the siamese more (since the kitten likes him back) and that menchi may be sensing this!
