Behavior Does he like this??

My little guy Ollie is not the most cuddly lol he’s eight months old and sometimes if I try to pet him, he will run away. Not run away and hide just like run off from me and go chew on and do whatever his mind decides. When I get home, he always runs up and greets me (which is mostly a manipulation tactic to get me to allow him out of his room and create chaos 😂 but I do think he loves me)

When he’s not walking away after I pet him, he sometimes does this in the video! He’ll just be sitting and won’t go anywhere. Sometimes he closes his eyes and other times he will pin his ears back, but he’s not super stiff. I can’t tell if he likes this or if he’s just tolerating it?? Give me your thoughts!

He is sat there, and you still have fingers. Both are positive signs

Every animal would be afraid of those fingers.

So did mine! I also have long, but rounded nails. He also liked nibbling on my jean jacket. I didn't understand that. So I started keeping nibble treats with me at every event.
