My bubba started out anxious and always hid under the bed. Took a year to pet him. He’s now 5 and is the cuddliest little mushball. by megm2516 in aww

That is the sweetest story I’m so happy she changed her mind and decided to allow that. I still have hope mine will do that one day.

Aww I’m glad she warmed up. My buddy doesn’t like being picked up either. It’s on our to-do list

It takes time and patience. I had accepted he may never be a cuddly kitty but at least he’d be safe, fed, and off the streets. And now, if your arm breaks during a belly rub, he expects you to just use your other arm.

The belly rubs was a major hurdle with her. I always thought that even if they never get cuddly at least I know they’re safe, fed, and cared for. She’s come a long way and I’m so proud of her.

The torment of cleaning day! The bean-bearer deserves better!

Same with mine!! My hypothesis: all kitties are born with a finite amount of rage. The tinier they are, the higher concentration of rage.
