So our cat is a very independent cat and tends to only like affection and attention when she initiates it. She isn't nasty or mean at all, just a bit solitary. DS is now 3 months old and I have been working with him and the cat since we brought him home. (She has been very afraid of other small children that have been over in the past). I let her smell DS and try to use his hand to pet her when she allows for it. She tolerates it at best and always seems nervous. Today, DS was crying and she came right over and started to smell him to make sure he was okay. It was very heartwarming! I think progress has been made.
