For today’s cat enjoyment, I present my friend Marian’s cat whose name I rudely forget. She is pretty sweet but still learning her way around the house along with who can be trusted. The kitty is having to acclimate with an even less-friendly kitten and a gregarious Teak, you may recall her from a few weeks back; she was the biggest project as dogs would give anything for a walk.
I did gain this cat’s trust recently as she let me pick her up, hold her and out came the purring! Yes, I do know cats can make this noise when they’re afraid. I feel I was successful because I wasn’t receiving a chestful of claws. Being the person responsible for food time always helps when you want to make a cat like you.
I’m confident with time and more positive reinforcement, she’ll be a cuddle bug on par with my Agamemnon and Metztli! I would like the kitty to want scritches and petting from me with requiring a reward. Deep down in their hearts, even the most feral, unsocial pet loves the attention we humans can give them, reminding them of how much their mothers loved them.
Nice!!
