Cat Forum / Cat Anecdotes / November 2004Today was a first.
My Antonio, who I found in my front yard as a tiny kitten, has never been a lap cat. He came and sat on my lap today. Not bad for after a year and a half. > My Antonio, who I found in my front yard as a tiny kitten, has never > been a lap cat. > He came and sat on my lap today. > Not bad for after a year and a half.

That's such a special moment. It took years with Fenda too, she was an eighteen-month old semi-feral when we adopted her.

I remember her well. I bet you still miss her dreadfully. Sherry > >> My Antonio, who I found in my front yard as a tiny kitten, has never > >> been a lap cat. [quoted text clipped - 10 lines] > > Sherry I was looking at photographs of her and Izzi last night. I miss the way that Fenda shadowed me, she always wanted to be close to us. I miss her silly little wet tongue that stayed stuck out after she'd cleaned herself because she was too dopy to put it back in her mouth. And I miss the feel of Izzi's fur until my hand, she was the most strokeable, velvety cat I've ever shared my life with. I miss Izzi's glares and complaints, and the way she always expected me to put the world to rights for her express comfort. Thank you Sherry, it's nice to get the chance to talk about them. Jeanette >My Antonio, who I found in my front yard as a tiny kitten, has never >been a lap cat. >He came and sat on my lap today. >Not bad for after a year and a half. Concatulations to both of you. ;) Theresa Stinky Pictures: http://community.webshots.com/album/125591586JWEFwh My Blog: http://www.humanitas.blogspot.com >My Antonio, who I found in my front yard as a tiny kitten, has never >been a lap cat. >He came and sat on my lap today. >Not bad for after a year and a half. That's Antonio's way of showing you who's the boss. -bonbon >>My Antonio, who I found in my front yard as a tiny kitten, has never >>been a lap cat.

Congratulations. He is starting to love and trust you. It's so special when they show that they trust you, the other night I was watching TV, laid out on the settee, and Boyfriend approached, jumped up and arranged himself at the back of my knees. This is only the second time he's done this. Antonio is making good progress. Did you almost not dare to move when he came on your lap? That's what I've felt when my very scaredy cat decided to try and trust again. It took my boy about the same length of time as yours to get physical. Tweed >> My Antonio, who I found in my front yard as a tiny kitten, has never >> been a lap cat. [quoted text clipped - 11 lines] > >Tweed Thanks for your encouragement. There is a long story about me an Antonio. He has never been a feral cat. He sleeps with me. If I am laying on the couch, he will lay between me an the edge of the couch, he will bring toys to me to play fetch...etc. BUT never until the other day did he ever have any inclination to sit on my lap. He was just a tiny kitten when I found him.

Congratulations! I envy you, Baggy is 16 months now I don't think he'll ever be a lap cat. He does like to sit close, and purrs up a storm for belly rubs.

Awww, doesn't that just melt your heart. With Rocky (RB), it seemed that once he trusted me enough that he was willing to jump into my lap he very quickly decided to try all those other things he saw LB and Sammy enjoying - brushing, toys, coming inside on cold raining nights, etc. SignatureSteve Touchstone, faithful servant of Sammy, Little Bit and Rocky (RB) stouchst@JUNKsirinet.net [remove Junk for email] Home Page: http://www.sirinet.net/~stouchst/index.html Cat Pix: http://www.sirinet.net/~stouchst/animals.html Awww, that's a real milestone. Congratulations! Please keep us posted on his progress!
