My last girlfriend, the first time I went to her apartment, she said her cat was mean. The cat immediately curled up on my lap and went to sleep while we watched a movie. Ten years later, I still have the cat and the ex-girlfriend got rehomed.

You sir, are my hero 😊. A girlfriend once crocheted a cat picture for me with the title “Love Me, Love My Cat”, she even personalized it to look like my Siamese baby. And yes, I once sent a girl packing because he didn’t like her. Seriously, the first time she came to my place he sat under a chair in the next room and just stared at her. A year or so later when talking to a female friend somehow this girls name came up. My friends response was “OH…….her”. She took a breath and then told me that her fiancé had once dated this girl and she “scarred him for life”. 😮. Another female friend related her dislike for this girl some 15 years later after I related this story. My cat really saved my ass, my animals will always come first.

only reason why animals or humans are mean, is because lack of love / joy. i'd be traumatized in a shelter aswell .. it's like a prison or slave camp, who wouldn't feel traumatized there?

spot on...we rescued a feral cat we had seen down with our horses every day for 15 months and he would hiss and snarl like a mini tiger but we managed to catch him when he got badly injured and after months of feeling secure at home he is the biggest cuddliest baby, so glad to see yours is happy in his forever home with a family that loves and cares

[@aelmaest9172]

Exactly. The shelter isn't a good environment for any animal with the constant noise and stress. Anyone would be mean in such a stressed out place, trying to protect themselves from perceived danger. If only every shelter could be this several-acre sanctuary with comfortable, quiet space for every resident.

[@blackmagickdancer2282]

He wasn't mean. He was scared and the fact that he leaves you to sleep in the middle of the floor(in the open and most vulnerable) speaks volumes on his level of comfortability in your home. You guys are awesome

[@alfnoakes392]

Maybe an element of being able to see in all directions makes him feel safer there ... still some insecurity from his life on the streets. My Squeaky was very insecure when I got her, and still likes to sleep (on my duvet) in sight of the door possibly so she is more aware of anything/one coming in.

[@tonym2513]

yeah, there’s still something there with his sleeping pattern if he only feels safe sleeping completely away from everything. Thats the last piece of the puzzle imo until he can put it all in the past.

His first previous owner was highly a man. He grew up with one an found more confort as he is male as well. This also happens vice versa. Most likely, the staff was all female/dominant an wasn't trustworthy from hus passesd experiences woth woemn. Moslty likely female mistreated him. That's why the cat cuddled up in no time to the man real quick. Contrary to his typical experiences.

insane that a shelter said they were gonna put him back on the streets just because he was being "mean", animals are aggressive if they've been mistreated and/or are afraid and this is never their fault.

[@HannibalKantter]

Exactly. Imagine that you're a homeless man, and two guys grab you from the streets and put you in a cell, surrounded by other homeless people in other cells. You don't know what's happening, and you don't understand what they're saying. One of them tries to touch you, and you obviously recoil, or attack his hand to try and make him go away, and they have the guts to call you "mean" 😂. I don't know why it's so hard for some people to realize that, in a situation where even a sapient being like us would be terrified, a wild animal is, too🤨

Him sleeping in the middle of the floor means he's claimed basically the entire house as his territory and feels comfortable it's secure. He probably thinks he's protecting the two of you by being so out in the open. This is basically the highest appreciation and love a cat can give people other than the more obvious cuddling. My cat, while a cuddle bug who loves me, likes to deep sleep in seclusion but will run to me for comfort when something frightens her because she knows I'll protect her. Your cat decided on the "F around and find out" model.

What is so interesting is that some people (or some cat-person combinations) just exude that calmness that puts everyone (not just the cat) at ease. Even when stressed out in a shelter, this cat bonded.

[@jeffnordin108]

Really important nugget you just said: behavior CHANGES when animals (or people) are locked up. Aggressiveness, trauma, all of it. It's NOT normal. You can't risk everything with a crazed shelter animal, but honestly I think a lot of sort of sketch animals in the shelter probably do fine when allowed to decompress and adjust back to safe environment

My cat was called “unadoptable” by a local humane society. What did I do? I adopted her on the spot! She’s the sweetest cuddlebug and so smart and playful. She’s shy around strangers but is perfectly comfortable with me. I promised her a “home and a family” and that’s what my girl has! I told that group that they shouldn’t label shy cats that way because they all need homes to feel safe in.

[@triciaaw4539]

In years of volunteering at shelters, cats that are labeled _mean_ or _aggressive_ are nothing more than scared witless. These poor cats were "unadoptable" and the first to be put down.

That's why his ear was tipped. To mark him as neutered. TNR = Trap, Neuter, Return. We did it in Arizona but they were always returned to the colony they came from and were to be at least fed and watered by the colony's sponsor. Sometimes a tame cat would be part of a feral colony so you would try to find it a home rather than returning it the colony.

shelters have limited space. unfortunately they gotta prioritize, so they can't wait to see if every feral is able to be socialized. I'm sure they would if they could

[@Iampatrix]

Depending on the shelter it's not as horrible as you think. Cats that have lived their entire lives on the street are not all capable of being house trained, some prefer to live wild. So there are release programs where they spay/neuter and vaccinate cats and put them back out to live their lives. We love to believe all cats are cute little cuddle buddies but the reality is they're the most successful hunting machines on the planet and are perfectly capable of living without us, we didn't breed them to be pets, they bred us to take care of them. That's how insane cats really are, they are literally the most destructive mammal on the planet outside of humans. Of course I want to cuddle and adopt every single one of them because I love them but cats aren't innocent helpless little creatures, just do a simple Google search on how they destroy ecosystems. They're crazy furry adorable murder machines.

Thank you so much for giving him the best home! He is beautiful and so are all of you!

He was just scared in the shelter. I’m so glad he found his owners.

[@MmmHuggles]

Once a cat has chosen you, you are now the owner. This cat clearly needed the right person to come along and they finally did.

He was so scared, but thank goodness your love and kindness he felt safe. Thank you for adopting him, he is beautiful. xxx

Another awesome cat story. He was probably so stressed before you brought him home. Favoring one person happened with my sister and her husband. They took in an indoor/ outdoor cat when the neighbor moved on the premise it would be indoor only. The cat loved her husband and wanted nothing to do with my sister. I think he resembled the man in the previous household. No doubt cats have many more prerogatives than people do 😂.

Thank heaven for this beautiful meeting of hearts,and just in time🥰

It is so true that kittens or cats chose their owners/family. Jax is just precious! 😻

The cat I have now, who I have had for the last 16 years, also likes to sleep by herself. I get the feeling that she loves her whole other "night world" that's all hers. She patrols and keeps guard, and and plays with her toys by herself, which she clearly likes to do. I get up in the morning and find toys in different places than they were the day before. They are all so different, I love that about them.

THANK YOU FOR GIVING THE LITTLE KITTY A HAPPY LIFE
