So far, the consensus is that Jim is CLAIMING me as his property. In other words, he loves me. Gee. Thanks a lot!. And I take comfort in the fact that I am not the only person that this has happened too. My fellow rescue volunteer, Kathy, had this same thing happen to her. So I am in good company. Hopefull he will relax and realize that I love him too and I will NOT hate him for being a cat even if I cannot mold him into the kind of cat I want him to be.
