Our 6 month old male kitten wich we raised from birth with much love does not like to be touched,petted or held. He is not afraid and comes near, "talks", and does "tricks" to get your attention. If you reach out to try to pet him ,he scoots away. No one has ever done anything to cause this strange behavior. His mother is with him and she is very sweet and affectionate. Please advise how to modify his fear of human touch.

Each cat is different he may not need that kind of attention from a human. I have 4 and each one requires different amounts of attention. If you know for a fact that no one has held him against his will or hit him then it is probably just his personality.
Try engaging him in different little games,comb his fur, scratch him behind his ears. If he likes a certain spot to lay, sit a chair beside it. Read a paper or book maybe he will eventually seek out your warm lap. If not just enjoy him for the creature he is as he is.

I agree with bushg,each cat is different and since he is with his mother that might be the reason he acts this way,he has her for love and affection.My cat Rufus is 2 years old and came here as a stray when he was about 4 months old.He lets me pet and scratch him but he freaks out when I try to hold him so I don't.Cats are very independent and want what they want,when they want it.

I have four cats. My son (who is owned by our rescued Maine Coon mix) and I have found that lying on the floor attracts the cats who then sit on us, lie on us, and generally sprawl all over us, tails swishing in our faces and paws kneading our tummies. Maybe try that to see if he will sit or lie on top of your body. You might be able to eventually stroke or pat him then.

Also, while he's lying on your chest or stomach or lap, talk to him. I often, in a sort of quiet whispery voice, tell my cat, Thomas Jefferson, the story of how he adopted me from the cat shelter. (Yes, he did. He chose me.) I vary my voice as I recount the exciting details. Thomas closes his eyes when the emotion gets too much for him, and allows me to lightly stroke his forehead.
