This is true actually, I remember a tabby and white boy many years at the rescue, he was terrified of all humans and kept hissing every time anyone opened his cage, and kept cramming himself into the back of his cage to stop the scary human from getting too close to him, but one day a elderly gentleman came in to choose a cat, Phoenix's cage was open cause the volunteers on shift that day was trying to still win him round (at this point he'd been in the rescue cage for about 8 maybe 9 months cause he was still too scared to let any human touch him), the enderly gentleman went near the cage and Phoenix came straight out of his cage, straight to the elderly gentleman and was like "mine - my human!" (this was years before my memory got screwed up)
Sundar as a kitten was right at home with the 'new' technology.
