Sometimes I hardly recognize Koala, my little feral cat. When I first
got him, he hid most of the time. Once he started coming out where he
could be seen, he ran every time I took a step toward him. Eventually
he got over that, and then he would let me pet him, but only if he were
on the floor and I was standing.

A couple of months ago he started coming up when I was sitting in my
recliner, and lying on my legs, out of reach. He has actually laid on
my lap a couple of times, and last night he came up on my lap and nudged
and meowed for me to pet him for a while before he laid down on my lap.

That reminds me of, Shadow (RB) it literally took years for him to trust me
completely, eventually he learned to enjoy belly rubs.


Koala hasn't reached that point yet, although he would like to. He
definitely shows jealousy when Pickles gets a belly rub. Maybe someday ...
