How does he get on your shirt?
Do you go pick him up?
I'm babysitting a gorgeous female water currently. She does not flinch or move when I reach in and pet her. When I have her in the bathroom with me, she crawls all over me. Yet I know she is stressed to pieces. She only crawls on me because she wants out of the room so bad. And she bolts for her hole as soon as I back away from petting her.
I believe she knows I will not eat her, or maybe even harm her. I don't think she is afraid of me in any sense, but I do KNOW my presence stresses her. There's a big difference between afraid, and being stressed.
None of my animals are afraid of me. But it doesn't mean I don't stress them at times. As time goes on, they are less easy to stress out.
Crapping is a sure sign of stress.
Just trying to help.
