Poor Mungo Jerrie, he has been quite traumatised in the past. He is like a nervous wreck. if someone touches him; he jumps a mile and sometimes when one walks in the room he runs away.
I think progress is going to be slow with him, and I do believe he is slightly calmer than he used to be a couple of weeks ago.
He is not yet going out, however, we are training him in anticipacion, by pushing him through the cat flap. It surprised me how easily he goes through and I wonder if he perhaps has used one in the past.
We have also introduced the cat box in to the room. At first we kept it open in two halves, so that he wouldn't recognise what it is and, yesterday, I put it together without the door. Mungo has walked right past it and doesn't appear to mind. Sadly, some time soon he will need to be put in it so that we can get him to the vets for his flea & worm treatments, but for the time being we are leaving him alone.
