Two times Mikesch very close, great :) It makes me believe that it wont take long anymore that when you stand or sit still maybe to sit on the floor would be the best that Mikesch will come so close that you can touch and pet him.......To lure Mikesch with food or toys will be good, too. Does he have some favourite food ? When nothing helps anymore then I cook chicken or buy raw beef. All my cats almost started /start to talk when they only smell it. :)

The other day I was dishing out their wet food and a cat jumped up on the counter next to me, about a foot away. I habitually said "BAD!!" because it was right next to the stove, which I'm trying to keep them away from. It ended up being Mikesch, and he instantly jumped down. I wish I'd known it was him, that would've been a good moment. But, today, I got him to come close enough to sniff the cat food can in my hand.

Awww the two brothers are so sweet. Wonderful that there is progress again !

Mikesch is no longer worried about being cornered in the spare room. He'll jump down and out-maneuver you if you go into the room, but he's totally comfortable falling asleep in there before that happens.
