Hi All,

Some of you may remember my story of the little kitten who didn't
play. That was my sweet little Persian, Roxy. She had been "owned"
by a couple who just had to have everything too too perfect and got a
Persian because they wanted a 'purebred' to match their decor. At
least they had the sense to give her up, but they had been keeping her
in the garage and when she got here she didn't know what playing was.

She learned to play and now regularly gives me "Little Kitty Pats" (my
nickname for her) when she wants to play with the red bug or the
peacock feather. She isn't much for affection though and while she
liked the occasional skritch, she just hasn't been a 'people' cat.

This morning was different though. As I lay in bed preparing to get
up, along came Roxy in a very snuggy mood. She did all sorts of
behaviors from upside-downy-head to just leaning against my hand while
I went through the best of my repertoire of kitty skritches. And then
it happened -- she purred! What a delight! I hope it means that
she's going to keep on becoming more socialized, that would mean that
she'd finally put her unfortunate childhood behind her.

Regards and Purrs,

Awwwwwwww. Love is the best teacher.

That's so marvellous. OJ, that she purred and did upside downy head. She is
obviously beginning to trust you.
Boyfriend has only purred once since I had him :-( and then it was almost
inaudible.

OJ, that's really encouraging and I'll bet you'll make even greater strides
with her over time -- what a lucky kitty she is!
