He sounds similar to our Syrian in some ways. Who is like a sweet innocent angel sometimes but mean if you try and stop him chewing the carpet! (That's when he's bitten the odd time). He threatens to bite if I try and pick him up and will not be picked up. Interestingly though, I find he forgets about all that if he is a) tucking into some food or b) trying to escape the playpen - those are the times I can stroke him and pick him up and he doesn't bat an eyelid. So it seems to be when he's preoccupied doing something he likes that he doesn't care whether you stroke or touch him. But generally it's "keep off". Contrary little things!

Good to hear things are progressing. I bet he lives the Rodipet house - they all seem to like those.
