Toby Has Come Out

[pastafreak]

He's changed his hiding place, and is now under a chair instead of the sofa.
He came out for a bit of chicken...good old bribery ;)
Oh...and he's also 'talking' a bit.

He'll be sleeping on your knee soon ;-)

Trust you to have a "gay" cat.

[tiggerblue10]

Hurrah! He is a very handsome boy ❤

[pastafreak]

Ah, sqad...you know me too well. ;)
Hey...it got your attention!
Yes...he is rather handsome, and looks like he will be a heavy lump on my lap.

Lovely cat and he let you take a photo of him. Your patience will be rewarded. Give him another two months or so and he will be on your bed and then your knee. Marmie took almost a year to be completely comfortable

[pastafreak]

I'll be looking forward to that, calmck!
It's funny how nothing will happen for a bit...then Boom! He surprises me.

[pastafreak]

Oh my...he just played with with a feather wand. Wow!

[wolf63]

In no time you will be asking him to 'shut up'. My two got more verbal as they got older.

He will be bossing you around in no time at all - as it should be.

[Patsy33]

Aww, lovely boy...

[pastafreak]

I know wolf...I'll be wondering what I wished for
:)
At least Madame Cleo isn't attacking him...she just STARES...

[Tilly2]

He's a slow but sure cat. :-)

[pastafreak]

He's jumping today...He's played with the feather wand 3 times.
Of course, he might decide to hide the rest of the week. I'm just so pleased to see him more relaxed.

[choux]

I am very pleased to read this, pasta, great news for all 3 of you :)

[lankeela]

Great progress - but I do think squad deserves a 'Best Answer'!

[MynameisLuca]

Well it's about time he's come out I say, How old is he?
My Queen has never sat on my lap, I have her over a year now.

[Cloverjo]

Oh, that’s lovely.
When my rescue cat finally left her hiding places to sit on my lap I started blubbing. She won’t leave me alone now.
Bless their little hearts.

[calmck]

There are knee cats, bed cats, on feet sleeping cats and some "thank you for my food and home, now leave me alone "cats. I recommend The Silent Miaow by Paul Gallico for an insight into the devious nature of cats

[pastafreak]

There were a couple of times yesterday...he was lying on his side under the chair and just looking at me. It was as if he was trying to figure me out. He played more today with the feather wand. Then got a claw caught in the chair. Couldn't get loose and he was hissing and growling. He didn't want to play after that...probably blamed the toy. ;)
I sent the rescue lady a video of him playing. She praised my patience and said he's reached a turning point. He was seen as a more difficult cat to rehabilitate.
I'll continue my updates.

[wolf63]

It sounds like he has decided that he will adopt you.

Cats are ... are we still not allowed to swear on AB?

How is Cleo? If no major battles I would say that things are looking good.

[Smowball]

Is he a kitten Pasta?
