I guess the best moment for me was right after I adopted Max and Speckles. Speckles came around right away but Max would not let me get near him for 2 wks. He hid behind the TV and I had to place a food dish beside the TV for him.

I was so frustrated and crying that he wouldn't warm up to me so my friend at work said, "just ignore him and he'll eventually come around."

After 2 wks, I was in bed crying because Max was so unhappy and I didn't know how to fix it. All of a sudden, I felt a thump on the bed and Max strolled up on the pillow beside me. I had my arm out with my palm facing upward and Max settled in buried his facie in my hand and purrrred up a storm. He stayed there all night and I cried most of the night but they were tears of happiness.

Isn't it funny how even in real life if you ignore the man and play hard-to-get he comes running......
