He was very scared at first, being feral originally. He hid in their basement for a month, only coming upstairs to eat after everyone had gone to bed. Then one day he came up stairs to lay in the sun and that was that. Now you're lucky if you can get him off your lap. He is the most affectionate cat I know. It took a month of waiting and letting him be, and I am sure Lefty would also warm to a family that just gave him time to adjust.Angelahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10242843268874466256noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-153184992729545075.post-4506600399632779232010-02-01T16:47:40.280-04:002010-02-01T16:47:40.280-04:00Lefty sounds so much like my Rusty.

I couldn't let him go back to square one after coming so far from the timid cat who hid under a bed for days. He has become such a confident cat who still doesn't like to be picked up BUT looks forward to head scratches, sleeping on the chair next to me and the companionship of 3 feline sisters and three canine brothers. He is happy and very contented and in his "furever" home.<br />I am sure Lefty will also warm to a gentle loving person who will give him the time to trust again. Rusty is proof that it can happen. How I wish I lived closer to at least foster Lefty until the perfect home is found!Jewelnoreply@blogger.com
