Bonded cats rescued from hoarder house finally let new pawrents pet them after full year of adoption and trust building, cat dad says: ‘We expect nothing from these cats which makes it so rewarding whenever we make even an inch of progress.’

Often rescue cats who do not like cuddling will never allow their pawrents to love on them with touch. But sometimes, as in this story, with enough effort and trust building, anything is possible.

Though, as any cat pawrent will inevitably scoff your way, most of the time these things are impossible. You cannot convince a no touch kitty to suddenly turn into a cuddle machine. Just your presence within a three foot radius of their aura is enough to make them feel uncomfortable. So how in the heck can we expect them to be touched by us?

Well, the invested ones amongst us pawrents will, and do, spend day and night showering these no touch cattos with toys and treats. All in the hopes that one day they will be allowed a brief moment where the cat relents and allows for some form of contact. And no matter how minimal and short it might be, us pawrents will be overjoyed to receive that special gift. Which is exactly what happened to the pawrents in this story who waited over a year to get their first taste of cat child cuddling. Tough it should be noted that they had two other cats who did cuddle them to keep them company throughout that long lonely time.

Wowza, the hard work of composing yourself in front of cat children who do not want to be cuddly and comforting is hard. Really hard. As a cat pawrent all you want is to pick up your cat child, hug them, kiss them and make sure they know that no bad shall ever befall them again in their life. That they are safe and loved now for all times. However, in cases such as this doing so would end in a spicy ball of fury being held in your arms and months of hard earned trust flushed down the toilet. And so they are left to wait.

Holy moly, that must have been the best ten seconds of this man’s life. We cannot even imagine what it was like to finally have that simple yet sensitive touch with the feline soul that you have been working on for the last year. All you have wanted, all you have dreamt of is getting to casually brush past your cat child’s face to show them that you care about them, and finally you have been gifted this grand albeit brief moment. What a rollercoaster of emotions. Not all cats come home ready and willing to cuddle, and those who do not often will never be ready. So when they show you any inkling that they might be open to the idea it is a big deal.
