Guy Tries To Befriend A Stray Cat For Over A Year | The Dodo

He was absolutely terrified of me. The previous owner had told me that there were a lot of cats in the neighborhood that would just leave me, so that's what I did initially, but I noticed that he looked very, very thin at the time. I wasn't really used to it. to cats, so I didn't know what you were really supposed to do. He was leaving a can of tuna right on my deck because he looked hungry. In the end, once or twice a week I started putting out cat food, I was still very afraid. he would meow and also make eye contact before running off, he would just eat from his little pool of water and food outside my house and if you noticed me on the other side of the glass he would run away, but eventually he got comfortable with me through the glass and he would just look at me and go back to his food and be fine.

Little by little it improved. I could open the door and just look at him, but I couldn't. I even reached out to touch it, so I figured since I'm feeding this cat, I felt obligated to get it a home because it's pretty cold in Michigan. I isolated it with blankets like it was a little house for him the first night I turned it off. I remember looking at the glass and seeing it in his house, he was looking at me, he just put his head down and started sleeping. We slept in the house. I thought of a crucial moment as being part of the family.

I was still trying. for him to come to me, I remember I opened the sliding door and this time he wanted to enter the house, he was just afraid that he wanted to receive the prize, but he trusted me and then he took it from my hand, basically that was The point of inflection where I was able to really pet him, just pet him as my sliders open, I was able to capture, he came to the house for the first time, come here, I'll throw you one ready, I kept the slider open and I threw treats at him.

He here is another one you can take it from my hand come here and he would eat it I will throw another one a little closer to me they are getting closer and closer no, they are a tear here you go hey here we go he is close enough to me, come here to check out the place, it was very quick, from him not being able to be petted to being petted and getting into the house was a pretty quick process once we reached that milestone, at that point I would keep him inside. the house basically to let them acclimatize to the new surroundings, so he did.

I would just leave him alone, listen to him run around the house, it was a lot of fun. He still loves being outside to this day. I don't want to. Denying him his right to freedom outside when I leave him outside, he can do it for hours or even half a day, people make fun of me because in one of the previous videos and say that I am not a cat lover, I wanted to stay inside, definitely change. As a person it made me much more tolerant and I understood and learned what it means to take care of something else.

Simply having someone depend on you is a nice thing. Say you never choose a cat, a cat chooses you and I definitely feel in this situation for sure he chose me like comment and subscribe
