I notice more and more how Kim our autistic cat, who didn't like humans but loved all animals from birds over mice to dogs, now loves humans. Especially males !! She is completely in love with Mr. G ! As soon as he comes home she follows him everywhere and when he intends to sit down on the sofa she meows until he sits and she can jump on his lap. It's as if she wants to say "Hurry up" !
Even the brush doesn't scare her anymore and she is happy when he brushes her ! Slowly he is even allowed to touch her belly.
She doesn't mind to share with Arthur !
and a real miracle, she sits even besides me while I google through the world and I too am allowed to pet her now. She still has a suspicious look, but at least she doesn't run away anymore. What a difference to the half wild cat who was always outside and only came in during the night for food. Very seldom she slept inside. And now it is just the opposite ! Cats are unpredictable !
Rosie leads her princess life, she runs behind the others to slap them on the back, or she tries to catch their tales. This behaviour is not very well appreciated and the princess gets a lot of hisses in return.
She has discovered the comb and loves to be combed. Even when she is at the other end of the room, if I show the comb she would run and jump on my lap.
Don Arthur gets fat and fatter that's the winter reserve !
He could sit a bit outside in a sun puddle on the window sill, but not for long, the sun doesn't like us for the moment.
Pookie seems to be a happy cat, despite the fact that it is more and more difficult to jump on the sofa. But with a little effort she manages it. She eats her "soup", the with water diluted cat food, and has put on weight. She had become so skinny. Her fur is shining and she even plays with little toy mousies. If she can make it like this until 20 at least, then there are still two years left !

Love your cat stories. My Twiggy who also was scared of everybody, still hides when we have visitors, but is slowly getting better. If visitors stay over for a while, she eventually gets used to them and no longer hides.
Good that Pookie is putting on weight and feeling stronger.
Wow, how cool that Kim has decided she likes people!
Absolutely loved all these photos. As our mom always says, "Cats are predictably unpredictable." It must be so special to have this change in Kim. Bet you are really enjoying it! XOCK, Lily Olivia, Mauricio, Misty May, Giulietta, Angel Fiona, Astrid, Lisbeth, Calista Jo and Cooper Murphy
I hope Pookie makes it to at least 20. I am glad Kim is so friendly now, it gives me hope that Snowball will like us someday too. She only likes other cats.
It's amazing that Kim now allows belly rubs. She must trust Mr. G. immensely. All your cats are lucky that you let them be the wonderful kitties that they want to be, even if that changes from time to time.
