Felines, compared with canines, are highly independent, even fussy creatures. Some call them snobs. Others say they are just not friendly enough. My new cat is like a person: he has character of his own and will not be shaped or trained.
Sure, he learns who feeds him and where to find warmth. Just do not expect this guy to roll over or play dead. He may want a cuddle now and then or actively seek attention through yowls or even by batting your hand as if to say you must stroke him now.
Take the time to get to know your animal. If you had him as a kitten, personality will emerge slowly as the kitten side wears off and he comes to know who loves him. Care for him well and he will be a loyal pet.
