He (the cat) is incredibly skittish and pouncy (he is only going out into the garden at weekends as he hasn't learnt to use the catflap yet) but does seem to relax with me. But he has never lived with a man before, and my partner has never lived with a cat. Can anyone suggest ways of helping them bond?

I had exactly the same problem when i moved in with my partner.
Make your partner give the cat his meals and also his treats. Also get your partner to play with his toys and get them interacting that way.
Once he associates good things with your partner then he should settle down soon.
Now my cats always go to my partner for cuddles!
