@ Donna!

Emma, he actually started the eyeblinks a month or so ago, so I've just taken it from there

Also, he used to be very annoyed if I accidentally touched his front paws, but now he likes it if I stroke them (daft cat - never had a cat like that before ), and if he's curled up in a circle and I stroke him all along his side he nudges my hand with his face when I get to the end so I'll scritch his cheek and start over again.

Oh, and he's also done the "Ahhh, being petted, let me stretch one front paw very far and then spread my toes" thing.

Well snoof sounds as if you are heading in the right direction, I am sure he will go from strength to strength

[Snoof]

He's doing very well, Emma. I'm very proud of him, as he's clearly willing to do things that scare him at first in order to learn how to be happy doing them.

Some days, though, I feel like an idiot when I'm squealing and jumping up and down in the bedroom, telling my boyfriend about the teeny tiny step forward Ninja's taken this godawfully early morning And I'm sure my boyfriend wants to throw things at me when I do, too!

Chloe has just spent the last 20 minutes on my lap snoozing and lazing and me rubbing her hair and cheeks which she likes!!! Think my doing the eye thingy works!!!! Or maybe she felt bad about licking her bum in front of me earlier!!!

Thank goodness you guys posted in this thread I wanted to tell you all what happened when I fed Ninja his dinner but I feel kind of bad for constantly dragging up this thread to wibble about his progress, must get boring for other people

I walked in with his pouch of Whiskas (I tend to hunker down and empty the pouch in his bowl and do any washing of the bowl when it's not mealtime) and he was wandering about to a different vantage point (his safe space is on a kind of counter/ledge type thing, and he was wandering onto a box), and as I hunkered down he jumped onto the floor and came closer, so when I'd emptied the pouch I stayed hunkered down by his bowl and he came and ate while I was crouched right there!

When I got up he flinched a little and looked at my feet (but I made sure to step back a little as soon as I was stood up) and then resumed eating!

And then while I was making peopledinner in the kitchen, he came in and did some twirling around and looking at me before walking back into the conservatory... twice!
