Oh my gosh, I'm so excited!!! I've been working with Arek for a while now, trying to help him trust me and become more friendly. He's the kind of cat who will actually get up and walk away if we pet him - which is very strange for a Maine Coon. We have reason to believe that he was abused in his former home. Well, we've had him in "quarantine" for about a week because we're having some problems with him using the litter box. Two days ago, I moved him into the bathroom to see if he would use his litterbox, or whether he would choose to potty on the floor, as he has been. Needless to say, he has not been happy with his mandatory separation from the rest of the family. ANYWAY, last night I was sitting in the floor of the bathroom, petting him and he actually crawled up in my lap for attention, and eventually fell asleep!!!
I couldn't believe it. I was so excited! Who knows whether he will continue in this affectionate behavior once he is allowed into the rest of the house, but at least for now I think he's learning to trust me!!!
I just wanted to share! I was soooo excited!
