Hi, Hanahop,
Please be sure that your kitten has a safe place where he can go when he's afraid. It might be only a cardboard box in which you've cut a little entrance. Putting a soft towel in a cat carrier and leaving the door open is another option. It should be a bit dark and in a quiet place in your home, if possible. It's his place to hide, to enjoy his little retreat and to feel safe. When he knows he has a safe place, he'll feel more secure to come out and explore a bit.
Good luck!

These are the videos i found on youtube months ago, it teaches you how to socialize your kitten. even if its a feral.
I found it quite useful i followed the method and successfully socialized a 4 months old feral kitten.
Part 1 : http://youtu.be/vpEcxIgMhyQ
Part 2 : http://youtu.be/qfraihjBNHM
Part 3 : http://youtu.be/jP8E-yFXCT4
The key is : PATIENCE

He's super active and keep running here and there in my room..he'll chase anything that move The problem now is when I put him in cage he'll sleep in his litter box Have to figure that out

Re: Kitten afraid of me..what should I do.Help please :(
good to know, but then if i may ask:-
i have a situation myself where i just obtained 3 kittens from a friend, the thing is i made a mistake in letting them see other cats through the cages (thus triggering a certain hostility hissing and all) while i was talking to my friend(the one who gave me the kittens). now the kittens are so so afraid of me and everything else and i fear that it is permanent.
my friend told me that one is a feisty one, the other two are just scared. so when one is being afraid and hostile, the rest follows.(they are siblings) is it possible if i separate all three and let them calm down. any help or advice would do.
thx.

kalau kitten takut kepada awak cara yang terbaik untuk menjadi kawan baik kucing ialah awak beri dia makan di tangan awak...
