Tasha has always been TERRIFIED of hubby (we're talking pooing when she sees him) which is very sad because she was supposed to be HIS kitten & he is the one that picked her out at the OSCPA.
After an entire year (literally) of letting her be her wild self, and trying to slowly tempt her to be our friends last night Tasha jumped up on the bed and let my husband pet her!!!!!
I can't explain what a monumentally exciting and surprising and absolutely wonderful turn of events this has been! She did start to accept me about 6 months ago because I've been home with the baby, but has never stopped being scared of hubby. With me it progressed from her hopping up while I was on the bed, to being able to come up & pet her around the house (she still runs if I look at her the wrong way though).
We've both noticed a BIG difference in Tasha since we brought Peaches home, I don't know why having a third cat (and maybe it's because Peaches is closer to Tasha's age) made such a big difference, but she's been less and less shy the last few weeks.
There is hope for wild cats everywhere!
