Generally- cats that accept or like a belly rub get a huge "plus" for potential adoption.
So in addition to the belly rubs I now get kisses bunts and quite the show now that she has discovered catnip... never seen one get so wound up before.
Was finally able to pick up the girl I wanted to adopt from the local shelter. She's nearly 9 years old and doesn't like being stroked or picked up. She does like a little head scratching but not too much. She will growl and hiss at me if I get too close, but will also talk back sometimes when I talk to her.
She scoped out the place then planted herself centrally where she could see in every direction. After a couple hours she was laying closer to me so she's slowly adapting. Don't think she'll ever be a lap cat but that's fine with me. Just want her to be content.

You're a good man!
Thanks. About a half hour ago she hopped into my lap, gave me some head-butts then got some head scratches in return. Didn't stay long though.
As they say a long journey starts with a single step
She will warm up in time
She's relaxing more. She snores.
My little rescue Sumi has really warmed up, been letting her out of the pen overnight and she plays & plays & plays... until she gets close to Mattie who has to hiss and growl like a moody Diva but like a trooper just keeps playing. Princess wants nothing to do with her antics and Fatso sometimes gets the zoomies and plays along. Sumi tried jumping on the bed a few times last night but Mattie made her position clear and has recently become even more affectionate to me... guess she fears being replaced despite my reassurances.
They're all gathered around the Magnavox tonight listening to Shotgun Tom Kelly on 60s Gold.
All four took to snoozing on me tonight listening to the REM Green album, not a hiss or growl.

Have you lost weight? You're just a shadow of your former self.
Hmmm... this might be a case of mistaken identity. Buddy-Cat Sr passed almost three years ago and he's the one who tipped over the scale at 20+ Lbs. Fatso came to me shortly after his passing and expanded shortly afterword, he's just over 14 Lbs at the moment and doesn't seem to gain any... or lose any for that matter.
This was about his max point of 21 Lbs, I did a thumbnail pic so he didn't crush the monitor.
This was about two months prior to his unexpected passing watching a really boring TV show.
This is his doppelganger who arrived shortly after the passing of my Big-Fat-buddy-Cat and he has taken over the house. At this point he was almost like a kitten... kinda compact but has since expanded both in width and length... a lot!
Here he is in April doing a cat-scan of my Magnavox console, had to make sure the woofers could bark. Added a center set of casters as the cabinet began to sag in the middle... happens at our age.
This was back in July.
