He probably was taken from his mother very early and is a sensitive kitty. He needs lots of TLC and pets and wants to be talked to and snuggle. I would take him to a vet for a general exam to make sure there is not a hidden health condition and once that is ruled out, it is likely that he just needs a lot of attention and TLC.
