I was able to pet Mr. Cat again today, and I think he might have purred a little.

He still seems a little nervous about it if I keep it up so I don't do it for long, but today we got twice as much petting as yesterday, plus an ear rub and maybe a little purr. I hope he gets really used to it so he will like me for more than food, because I love him!

You might try a brush and cats adore having the top of the head vigorously scratched with a brush. Karadeniz Mar 2022 #6

Maybe I'll try that - just want him to like being touched. Ocelot II Mar 2022 #7
