Brazil remains shy. He
will hide when people come to visit, and runs at sudden noises or abrupt
movements. But he has come far in the six months he’s been with me. He loves
his pettings, he enjoys being brushed; he can be given oral/liquid medicine and
can be corralled for a carrier, if need be. Much of this progress, I believe,
is due to being with other cats, who gave him the courage to receive human
attention. Theodore and Chiff, his two young pals, won’t be coming back. They
have been officially adopted, and are doing well, though of course are still
getting used to their new worlds. This is good for them, but, alas for Shimmer.
Tomorrow, however, is a whole new future with new possibilities, and in the meantime, Brazil will continue to grow in his enjoyment of play and attention.
He looks so happy. I hope he's getting over losing his playmates.
ReplyDeleteHooray for Chiff and Theodore, and for their new families! Best wishes to Brazil for continuing progress in relating to people. He sure does look happy with the petting!
ReplyDeleteI like the way Brazil keeps looking back at you when you take your hand off him just momentarily. He wants more pets and loves which is so good to see.

ReplyDeleteAw, look at Brazil, revelling in the attention. What a sweetie.
ReplyDeleteI'm delighted that Chiff's and Theodore's adoptions are official. Hurrah!
I liked this clip
ReplyDeleteWhat great news to hear that adoptions for Chiff and Theo have been finalized. I loved the video. While Brazil may remain shy around others, he certainly enjoys his contact with you.
ReplyDeleteI'm thrilled to hear that Chiff and Theo are in their forever homes, and doing well with their adjustments.
ReplyDeleteLove the clip of Brazil - he's such a sweet cat. I have to wonder what frightened so much when he was younger.
Me as well.
DeleteYay for Theodore and Chiff!
ReplyDeleteBrazil, you really are a love bug.
That's a sweet clip of Brazil. He looks so happy.
ReplyDeleteIt is lovely to see such good progress. Excellent news for the two adoptees. I am sure the future will be brighter for them all, but things take time, more for some than others.
