Cat is stressed constantly and I don’t know what else to do

  • clean litter every day
  • access to cat fountain & fresh water
  • play with teaser 1x per day for about 30 mins
  • catnip 1x per day
  • treats 1x per day
  • plenty of hiding spaces
  • regular vet check ups
  • put on cat TV for him occasionally (birds)
  • windows for him to look out of
  • affectionate attention
  • CBD oil 2x daily in food
  • exclusive wet diet with occasional cooked whole meat mixed in

I’m at my wits end. We adopted this cat a few months ago and while he seems sociable, he does not like affection at all. He will jump out of our arms, avoid being close to our hands & faces, bite & rough play a lot, obsessively groom himself, and seems to not want anything to do with us. I got this cat for my PTSD diagnosis and I need something affectionate as I can’t be cuddly with people. I feel like an asshole for wanting to take him back but I’m honestly bending over backwards to make this cat love me back but he won’t. I grew up owning cats and all of them loved being held, cuddled, purred, and follow me around. Idk if he was abused by his previous owners as we got him as an adult with no history on him. I’m looking for some advice, I really appreciate it
