There is always a chance, when you adopt a new cat, that the cat… just won't show you much love right away. It's hard to blame them - they're in a new environment, they're scared. It can take a while for a cat to get used to its new owner. Don't fret though, eventually, with enough time and care and space - if and when they need it - odds are that your cat will show you love.
You just have to be patient. And, when the moment finally comes, when your previously aloof cat shows you affection, you heart will melt, and every second that you have waited will be worth it. It might be something small. Your cat might just decide to sit next to you. But you will know, we promise, you will know the moment that your cat has finally accepted you.
Goodness, we are so happy that you shared this story with the world. We can imagine that it gives hope to a whole lot of people. We want to say thank you to you for adopting this fluffball and giving her a chance - not only a senior but also one with traumas… you have done something worthy of admiration. Thank you.
Aah! This kitty looks so heckin' happy and calm. That is a face that says that you have finally been accepted, finally been chosen. This is it, there is no going back now. You now belong to this cat, and you will love it just as much as she does.
