stephanier.1765 Posted July 17 Share Posted July 17 Two years ago this fall, we sheltered a feral cat during a hurricane. While the winds blew and the rain pounded, we tried our best to befriend him and by the time the winds died down, DH and I had decided he would be a new member of our family. It's been hard. For the longest time, we could only pet him at arms length and only from behind. He would never face us and allow us to touch him. In the last few months though, something changed. He's coming to us to be petted and asking to be picked up. Picked up! That's a minor miracle, right there. He's turned out to be a natural comedian and does something daily to keep us laughing. Here's a picture I took of him yesterday. He's such a guy. LOL 15 15 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

catz Posted July 17 Share Posted July 17 This photo is a riot! Adorable! I'm glad your new baby is warming up, that is such a gratifying development. We rescued a surprise kitten going on a year ago I found in a regional park. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kanin Posted July 17 Share Posted July 17 Awww, look at him! So cute and funny. The effort you're putting in is paying off. Maybe he'll end up being a lap cat and a big baby!!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kassia Posted July 17 Share Posted July 17 Oh my gosh, what a character! I'm so glad you found each other. He looks like one very happy and content kitty. ❤️ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I keep a collection of framed pictures of the pets we've had throughout our marriage on top of a buffet. Blaze doesn't have one up there even though he's been here almost 2 years. For the longest time, his timidness would make him run if we pointed a phone at him for a picture, so I'm glad to finally have one I love and want to frame. He's a beautiful cat but I think I'm enjoying this one that shows off his personality vs one that shows how pretty he is. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most importantly, his utterly relaxed look says everything about the comfort he feels with you and how far he’s come. You are a good rescue-cat mommy! 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I love the idea that the picture will represent how far he has come. Almost like his own framed recognition certificate. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
