Friends

Our 8 year old kitty is becoming quite finicky and particular in her old age.

She likes to be with people on her own terms. She runs and hides whenever anyone new is around. She knows what she wants and when she wants it.

We figured that she would be hiding for days when we brought our new little guy home. She considers herself queen of the house.

In fact, I often say, "She thinks that this is her home and she just lets us live here." We just weren't sure how happy she was going to be with it all.

We have been amazed. From the start she has appeared to love our little guy. She does not run and hide. She has even been seen approaching him to interact.She is gentle with him. She lets him touch and pet her, even when she is sleeping. She plays with him. They are getting along better than we ever imagined in our wildest dreams.
Friends...??

Maybe she's thankful to have someone closer to her own size? No, I think it's that he's too cute to resist!

That's cute. I don't know how our 12-year-old kitty would do around a baby. He has never been around any before.

That is just magical! You know you have a special little guy if a reluctant kitty falls in love with him. Just precious...

I'd say your kitty is simply a very good judge of character. :-)

The last picture is the sweetest thing I've seen in ages - it puts a big lump in my throat.

Awww, how sweet! We have 2 kittens now, for the first time ever. Our baby (he's 2 already!) is quite rough on them as he is learning, and they really are patient with him. It's so fun to watch.

Congratulations again on your sweet boy. :0)
