The Tribe reminded me that Norbert doesn't get much exposure on PT. He's so quiet, and still skittish - even after being with us for 2 years in April - that we don't do enough to get photos of him and talk about him. So here's a Saturday thread and photo of Norbert. He loves to hide behind the curtains! Hence our Man of Mystery.
He's such a good cat - just suffered years of minimal or bad socialization with humans. He was the cat that our neighbor in CT wanted to just dump out the back door because she "couldn't handle" having cats anymore. He hated her and she didn't like him and he NEVER let her touch him. She claimed he was "feral" - what did she know!
Now, he's changed so much - loves to be petted and brushed, comes running to have crunchy treats, gets along with everyone. We still can't pick him up, but he will get on a chair, bed or couch to sit near us for petting.
Maybe in another 2 years, he'll consent to being picked up, but if not, who cares?
Here's to you Norbert...glad you are in our Tribe.
