A twist! Petting Amos during food, not just churu. But will still throw hands if directly approached. 😆 (YT video: I'm petting an ear tipped tuxedo cat on his back while he eats canned food. When he backs up to look at me and I try to pet his head, he swats at me.) youtu.be/h6lugfptmN8?...
Let him smell your hand first. Fingers down. The frontal approach is the hardest.
Hello! I often work with feral cats, and I've been working with him for over a year. I can pet from the front when holding churu, this vid included testing to see if he is comfortable w/o the churu yet. My comment was tongue in cheek, but I have a plan, I promise, lol!
