Very shy cat suddenly decides to make a new friend???
Just wondering if anyone has ever encountered this... one of my rescues (almost 12 years old) has always been so shy with everyone but me (earning her the name "Boo").. She was feral for nearly a year before I won her trust and brought her inside, and she's always been very trusting and affectionate with me - but never anyone else, not even my kids who have grown up with her.
She has suddenly decided that my boyfriend of 8 months is her new best friend - she's on him constantly! I think it's great and it really surprised me, but why him and now? She never took to my ex (and we were together for nearly 8 years!) What gives? He's not even a cat person!
I had her spayed when I adopted her, so she's not in heat. And her shyness has always been extreme - if one of my kids tried to pet her when I was holding her, she'd howl like they were trying to kill her. It's really strange that she's locked onto my guy.
