I am quite pleased at how Hector has progressed during his time at the Cosy Apartment. When he first arrived, he was very shy of people. Though he quickly grew accustomed to me – since he and I were together every day; I played with him, fed him and petted him – he was reticent around other humans.
That has changed considerably. I noticed recently that he had few qualms over coming out to greet others in the rescue-group who came to drop items off or pick them up. But today, a stranger came by to collect some things, and my dark knight walked out of the bedroom and right up to her, rubbing against her and receiving pets. He retreated somewhat with sudden movements or noises, but he didn’t run and hide.
This is, of course, significant in terms of his potential adoption. Most people understand that cats in a new setting or with new people, or both, require time to adjust, but if Hector consents to associate with unknown humans right away, this will aid in his transition immensely, and it’s simply good for his morale.
Hec hasn’t had much interest yet, but when his time comes, I think it will find him ready.
Because of your patience, perseverance, and love, Hector has changed from a shy frightened cat to one that has become social and is able to interact with people. You've done wonders with him, John.
ReplyDeleteI am sure that Hector will be a happy kitty when the time comes to move into his new forever home. You are helping him become relaxed and used to people and he will realize that they are not so bad :) He is a sweetie.

Hope he finds a new and loving home
ReplyDeletesoon..perhaps an elderly lady with
a pointed black hat..and cauldron..
Bless him!x
Hector is too handsome not to be adopted. That's great news about him being friendly towards a stranger. I suppose that's why Precious was not adopted by anyone before me. She was too shy to scared and too hidden away for anybody to even see. Hector deserves a permanent home.
ReplyDeleteWay to go, Hec!
ReplyDeleteMaybe one of the visitors to the Cosy Apartment will be charmed by you enough to scoop you up and carry you away with them!
I am delighted at this good news about Hector. What a good surprise you had when he came out to greet the guest into his mome. He sees it as his, of course. His transition seems to have come rather quickly to my mind, and it is a direct tribute to you.
ReplyDeleteWe echo Roberta, and hope that Hector doesn't have to wait much longer for his forever home. ♥
ReplyDeleteYeah to Hector for showing how love and compassion and care can make all the difference and maybe his forever home... soon too!
ReplyDeleteHec is such a charmer; it seems inevitable that someone will fall in love with him and want to give him a home.
ReplyDeleteThat reminds me--have you heard anything about how Auric is doing?
It's funny you should mention Auric today. News is forthcoming.
DeleteThat is really wonderful, way to go Hector!
ReplyDeleteHector, you are going to one day give that kind of love to a new person who will love you back, forever!
ReplyDeleteWell done Hector. I hope he finds his forever home soon, he's such a lovely boy.
