My cat is a male & is 5 years old. We adopted him in June of 2019 & he was about 9 weeks old. He is very avoidant with people especially new. There are 6 people in my family & 3 of them live there. My dad, stepmom & stepsister live there & me & my 2 siblings go there every other weekend & twice a week so hes familiar with us. He does not like being pet or held & if you do so, it only lasts a few seconds until he scratches you. He has scratched all 6 of us in this household at least once & we don't know how to correct him properly but its been happening for the past few years.
