Just spend time on the floor sitting next to them, not touching or playing. When they start to relax with you sat near them, put your hand closer to them and rest it there (do this on regular basis). Move closer each time and slowly but surely they will realise you are not a threat.&nbsp;</p><div style="clear:both;"></div>https://www.vetnurse.co.uk/thread/134566?ContentTypeID=1Wed, 12 Sep 2012 16:32:37 GMT1a0763ec-3885-442c-853e-6cef656dfec5:cab61ae2-a4d8-48a0-a31c-af058c1a09bdMark Hedberg<p>Time, and don&#39;t smoke weed around them ;)</p><div style="clear:both;"></div>
