Back in January this year we rehomed a pair of cats (mother and daughter) as adults. The daughter "Smokey" (dark tortoiseshell) aka "biggie cat" (20 pounds) is reasonably friendly and likes to be petted and scritched, but not big on laps. The momcat (10 pounds) had been quite skittish (we figured she was a feral when she was pregnant and approached the former owners in desperation for help. She hid from us for the past months, except the past week or two she willingly walks into my bedroom, chirps, and hops on my bed and lays by my feet. And she seems to not hate me petting her, maybe even likes it some (she usually doesn't run off). I took the opportunity to see how much fat is on her bones, she seems fine, no ribs, was worried that Smokey was hogging all the food. But she is still fairly skittish during the day, though I do see her more than a few months ago.
The two cats get along quite well.
Was wondering if momcat will continue to be more trusting and friendly over more time.
One thing, both cats seem to avoid my brother, even though Smokey did used to like him.
