Hi,
About four months ago, I trapped some wild kittens.  I kept one and
gave 2 to to a family member.

My wild kitten is truly a wild cat.  I have another cat too, and it
seems to have helped the wild cat feel more comfortable having another
cat in the home.  I live in an apartment, and both cats are indoor
cats.

The wild cat has done much better than I expected socially.  Some
background:  I caught the wild kitten and 2 of his siblings by 1st
feeding them outside the apartment for a few days.  One of the kittens
was the leader, and the other 2 followed him when I put food out.  They
seemed to be very hungry when I found them.  I had the idea to catch
them and find them a home.  Once they got comfortable coming up the
steps to my apartment outside, I opened the door one night and put the
food inside.  I trapped them in the apartment.

My cat stayed at my mom's outside for abou a month.  I used a racoon
trap to catch him and bring him back to my apartment.  He wen nuts when
I caugt him.  He was literally banging around in the cage and screaming
at the top of his lungs and boy could that little kiteen scream loud.
He is fairly sociable.  He comes around me when I'm watching tv in my
living room.  He gets under the coffee table and pokes his head under
it when I'm sitting on the couch.  I likes to play and I try to play
with him some each day.

But he won't let me touch him (just in that one place if we are
playing).  He pretty much runs away in other parts of the aprartment if
he sees me coming, and he won't let me pet him.  He hissses at me if I
try to get close to him and runs off.

Should I be forcing him to let me hold him?  I have not been forcing
him.  He seems pretty happy but not a lap cat and I can't even pet him.
He's very shy.

Should I get him fixed?

Thanks
