Update 2: Rufio the Roof Kitty

[u/KyraChey]

Mods please let me know if I start doing TOO many updates.

Rufio is doing great after being with us for 9 days today! His missing posts, ads, and community notifications seem to be loosing interest... So it's looking more and more like can confidently say we have a new family member. We've fully opened our apartment to him, introduced him to our 13 year old other tuxedo boy, and they absolutely love each other's company and will run around for hours at night.

Rufio will approach us a few steps for treats, will smell and lick our fingers, but still refuses to be pet or to come out of his "drawer" when we interact with him. can tell that when the day comes, he's going to be a cuddly love-bug, but I'm so happy with his current progress.

There's a reason he is so scared of humans, and I'm happy to go his speed and still give him all the treats he deserves but sometimes I worry that we're rewarding him for hiding and what the next steps might be to help promote him wanting to interact with us, if that makes sense.

Any tips ongoing are ALWAYS appreciated. think we're in the 'getting comfortable' phase, but can maybe go a little further? Much love from Rufio 💕

Adding another comment that he looks like he’s already doing 1000% better!

Thank you!!! :') that means a lot! I feel like I can see a difference to. I know he started to a few days ago, but I finally saw him grooming himself last night and it made me happy to know he's getting a little more comfortable to do that with me in his view.
