Wow Lisa! Kurby is looking great! He looks so relaxed and I love the pictures of him wrestling with Mouser. How cute!

Lucky was one of the ferals we brought in and he lived in this house and we never laid a hand on him for 18 months! He was terrified of us. He had the same look as Kurby and you wouldn't know that he was afraid but he freaked if we tried to touch him. I just left him be and let him do his thing.
Lucky's most favorite thing was dinner time. One night while I was fixing thier food he was pacing with anticipation and as he walked behind me I reached down and started scratching that famous right above the tail spot. He froze! Then it felt so good he couldn't run and fell over! I continued to scratch and we did this for forever. I was the happiest camper in the world when one night after living with us for over two years he jumped up in my lap!!! Now he likes to make frequent visits to me and hubby and still loves to have that spot scratched.
They sure do it on their own terms and I have no doubt that one of these days Kurby will be a lap cat too.
