Baby is becoming tamer every day! Thanks to your tips. Especially approaching him at his level. Also talking to him every time I approach and walk into the room has helped. He cocks his head now when he hears me coo at him instead of staying in "battle" position. It used to be that when I entered the room he wouldn't even move for at least five minutes and I would have to lay on the bed as still as possible to even witness that. Tonight I took him out and cuddled with him, let him roam around the living room while we watched tv. He's also starting to let me pick him up with out much of a struggle. Maybe he likes me because I gave him a bit of a nectarine today. He ate it and must have enjoyed it, since there wasn't a drop left. So...are nectarines safe? I know not to give him fruit too often. I usually only give it to him twice a week, and then sparingly. So...one happy Ig-owner signing out. Night!
