Lace Taming
Laces a great animals with both the potential to be soften than pussy cats or extremely aggressive. Taming them takes time and more time and when you finished that more time again.
1. Your first need to soften the Lace by getting it calm in its enclosure where it knows it can be safe. A good practice is to leave it alone and remember it is not a cat that will calm very easy.
2. You then need introduce yourself to the Lace, do this being around the Lace enclosure a lot, outside the enclosure until such time as it sees you walking around and does move or show signs flaring.
3. When the Lace is comfortable with you near the enclosure gradually put your hand in and more the floor surface around. What you are trying to do it get the Lace to acquire your scent and interaction inside the enclosure without thinking you will pose a threat. Many may argue that using gloves is the best method the issue you WILL have it that it will not bond with you through gloves and also remember that most gloves are made from some form of animal hide.
4. When you can do this and the Lace does not move or show signs of flaring move your hand, (And remember this point !!) at the SURFACE level of the enclosure closer and closer to the Lace until such time to can rub them without issue.
Remember that a threat to a Lace in their mind will always come from above so moving at their level or below will pose less of a threat.
5. At this stage the Lace should be comfortable enough to be picked up. Again this is where you needs the Lace's trust. When you have bonded with the Lace, moved your hands close enough to rub you can then move on. Get the Lace in one hand and "ALWAYS" remember:
Never restrict the Lace from moving
Always move your hands from beneath the Lace, NOT above
What you want it to do is for the Lace move forward with you moving yours hands one after the other from beneath the Lace so it thinks it is moving.
6. At this stage depending on the time put into the Lace the Lace could calm easy or could require more work as above.
