I brought 2 6 month old egyptian mau brothers into my home about 3 weeks ago from a breeder who told us they were raised underfoot. My wife and I have spent an extensive amount of time with them but the only times they will show any affection or even allow us to pet them is when we feed them or give them a treat. They do not like being held so it is impossible to trim their nails or give them a rub down. They react fine to play time and by the end of the day are relatively close to us but every morning we see them, they look at us like who are you and why are you here? They act all skittish and are afraid to come near. Their behavior reminds me of the movie Fifty First Dates. If you have not seen the movie, basically it's about a guy who falls in love with a girl who has short term memory. He needs to make her fall in love with him again everyday because she doesn't remember who he is. I feel like I'm living this movie out. Am I expecting too much too soon? It kinda hurts my feeling that they aren't comfortable around us after we have tried very hard to make them comfortable. I wish they would at least recognize us and not run away. I am not looking for a greeting, just that they are comfortable with us. One note about our living situation. We live in a 3 level townhouse. We let the kittens now roam
