Just like we know that you are the alpha animal here at Mudcat, Clinton. I bet your arrogance amuses the cat too.

Pogo,
My Lizzie was anti-social for years until a friend dropped by with a bag of cat treats. Lizzie loved them and now does tricks for them and allows me to pet her. She still hates being picked up. There is a threshhold of opportunity for socializing cats with humans. Past a certain age, kittens who have not been held and petted will never adjust. For now, allow him to decide when he wants to come to you and if he gets rough, walk away. That's how mother cats and littermates deal with it.
