To socialize your shy kitten, you can start by creating a safe and comfortable space for them to explore at their own pace. Provide hiding spots, toys, and cozy spots for them to retreat to when feeling overwhelmed. Encourage positive interactions through playtime with interactive toys and gentle petting. Gradually introduce them to new people, environments, and other animals in a controlled and calm manner. Patience, consistency, and positive reinforcement will help your shy kitten build confidence and trust with social interactions.
