Probably you have already tried this, but if not he might let
you touch him around the shoulders and upper back while
he eats. Even if he shies away he might let you do it more
the next time.

We're getting closer - I sit closer each time he eats but I'm almost
afraid to get much closer. I really don't have room for another cat so
I don't want to be in a position to take him in. I may at least have
to get him neuterd. We're getting overrun with cats.
