Simba Yim enjoying the great outdoors

[aprilyim]

Enjoying a wonderful day!

Modeling by the doorway~

Alerted by a passing bus!

Truly my mom's third child!

My family adopted Simba in January from a shelter.
They found him abandoned in a box in DECEMBER!

When the weather became warm, I started taking him on small excursions outside, about 30 minutes at a time. He HATED them! He was so frightened and would try to run back home at all costs. I was determined to let him get rid of his fear of the outdoors.

Fast forward to today, and now he enjoys our little outside trips. The people on the street always get a kick out of seeing our Simba on a leash behaving like a champ.

I couldn't be happier seeing him enjoy being outside. (He tolerates boxes now but he doesn't want to be in them at all costs, understandably.)

It's hard to believe your mom didn't want a cat in the house not so long ago...

He is so handsome, and obviously loving the outdoors!

He looks like he's enjoying being outside! And your mom obviously enjoys being with him outside too!

Yeah! She was the most anti-cat person in the world and look at her now...

I agree! All her friends now think they needs cats too! So he's acting as an ambassador of sorts!

Hi Simba! And hi April's Mom!

You've said that your mom didn't really care for cats all that much. Simba changed all that. And look at his pictures with her. He's thinking....."She loves me! And was there any doubt at all?"

I love seeing pictures of Simba!

He is a beautiful brown tabby. Rex, my brown tabby, has the BEST personality! Looks like your mom loves him as much as you do.

I will relay your message to my mom! (I hope I will look like her in my 50's!)

Thank you darling!

Yes! He has definitely changed all her preconceptions of cats. She used to be THE MOST anti-cat person I've ever known. She didn't want to get near them or even look at them before Simba.

My parents and I have been in discussions about adopting another cat in the coming summer. I think Simba would benefit from having more feline company.

Hurray for the bodacious brown tabbies! Oh, I think my mom might love him more than me! (If that's even possible!

)

YAY! I'm so glad Mom's friends think they need kitties, too!

It looked like a lovely day for a walk. You have trained Simba so well!

The more cats getting responsible homes, the better!
