I laughed when I read her post. In the time it took her to complain about #Caturday she could have blocked the hashtag herself half a dozen times. 😁

I'm getting these 'puppy' people too. 🤨 Whatever floats whomever's boat and all that but I've done a lot of account muting over the past few days. And double whammy: I'm getting the gym bods flexing their midriffs too... I'm terrified there'll be crossover potential that I really won't want to see.😬

Glad to read you're recovering properly at last. 🤞

...perhaps he's been cuffed or otherwise abused in the past? Dunno. 🤷♀️ He's estimated to be 7, was with the rescue for 2 yrs-ish so there's a lot of unknown history there. But he has settled well considering it's only 2 weeks.

He's more predictable than he was on arrival; I've every hope he'll trust us more as time passes - and he is very affectionate but on *his* terms. He's always on the sofa with us in the evenings but doesn't necessarily want to be stroked. He's very wary if we reach above / across his head... >

Atm, we can't risk Rufus overnight in the bedroom because his behaviour is a little... capricious. Not enough attention & he'll nip. If the attention goes on for an undefined moment too long... he'll swipe. Trying to judge the likelihood of a fang or a claw when we're asleep at 2am is unappealing.

That's excellent. I'm not surprised, tho - you have a healthy diet judging by what you post and I think that general health plays a big part in healing and recovery.

Not in my experience! 😁
I think the intelligence must have come from whatever he was crossed with. 🥰

No, I thought I'd spammed #ORC enough with Rufus 😺 photos so this morning, I included a perky little robin instead.
Rufus is a rescue we adopted 2 wks ago - a Maine Coon X - and he's proving to be an 'interesting' lad. Eg, he figured out how to open our bedroom door. At 2am. 🙄

He's 7 so we kinda expected him to be a bit less demanding than a younger cat... but he's clearly had some difficult times in those 7yrs. It's definitely a case of him finding his feet (& boundaries) with us. He only arrived 2wks ago & I can see he's already more relaxed generally - which is +ve. 😺
