I have had Bonnie for about 6 months. It took 4 months to get her to even notice me. When we first got her she wasnâ€[emoji]8482[/emoji]t even scared, even Capones grumpy hissing didnâ€[emoji]8482[/emoji]t sway her from walking all over the place like she owned it. After awhile she would cuddle my boys and would come to us occasionally. She seemed to like our attentions, but would much rather get it from the boys (my cats and dog). She didnâ€[emoji]8482[/emoji]t care if we left the house, didnâ€[emoji]8482[/emoji]t care when we came back, didnâ€[emoji]8482[/emoji]t care where we were, it seemed she didnâ€[emoji]8482[/emoji]t care about us at all.
About two months ago she realized that Mommy is actually good for something. No matter what I was doing she realized I would stop doing everything to give her attention if she wanted it. Of course, being a princess she took advantage of that. It was a huge change from a cat who couldnâ€[emoji]8482[/emoji]t care less about me to a cat who wanted attention on her terms. The boys didnâ€[emoji]8482[/emoji]t much matter to her as much as me although she still loved Bruno like crazy.
I went away this past weekend and was gone for 5 days. When I came home she went right back to her first 4 months behavior. She really does not care about us at all. She is back to loving the boys and ignoring us.
My original thought was she was a semi-feral. Maybe a feral colony that was being fed by humans. Thatâ€[emoji]8482[/emoji]s why she wasnâ€[emoji]8482[/emoji]t afraid of us but couldnâ€[emoji]8482[/emoji]t care less about us. The SPCA did say she was on the streets before me. If this is true, can they resort back to being a semi-feral? Did me going away ruin the two months of her love for the time being?
She is a really hard cat to bond with. I love her, but can say in 6 months there isnâ€[emoji]8482[/emoji]t the same bond I have with my other furbabies. Will she come around do you think?
