Poor Freddy! He obviously feels thats the only safe place for him and it doesn,t sound like he,s ready to trust anyone yet! And in all my experiences if there is something a cat doesn,t want to do, there is nothing in the world that can make him do it! So what ever they come up with it,s going to have to be very tricky and very fast! Because if they fail, he won,t fall for the same trick twice! Good luck!
