I'm so happy for you! Butter is such a pretty kitty, and with that name it's hard to picture him being anything but a puddle of melted butter in someone's lap. It's funny how change affects cats like Butter and Gabe. I've moved many times and Tubby and Peanut have always seemed the same. I think it might have something to do with being top cat and having their confidence shaken because even through all the moves, Tubby has always been top cat and that might explain why T & P haven't been affected that much.

Anyway, I'm so glad he's coming around, and I can just picture your mother with a terrified look on her face and Butter just sitting there purring away as if nothing was amiss.
