Chappy has made great strides with us in bonding and affection. He jumps on the couch now and sits next to me and then just stares…waiting. I look over at him slowly and blink a few times, talk to him in my special voice and call him “Chap Chap..” When he hears those words he raises his tail end and waits expectantly for me to scratch his tail bone. He is so funny in his elevator butt manuever and he acts like he could reach the ceiling he raises his butt so high.
I am always amazed when these feral cats decide we are worth trusting, and every time I make that point where we bond, the feeling is immeasurable. It truly feels like I have hit the lottery in unconditional love-
