Happy 3rd Adoption Day Roary!! #ThankfulThursday

 It is so hard to believe that our super intelligent boy who was formerly named "Felix" (a name I think I should have kept based on his personality), is with us THREE years!



Roary is extremely bright, he LOVES to figure things out. He studies everything carefully. He opens cupboards with ease and often will sit and hide in them. 

He is a "people" cat. He greets anyone and everyone who enters our home (except for kids). With kids he will keep his distance studying them, and eventually he will approach them as long as he isn't being chased.


The biggest change in Roary this year is that he is FINALLY sitting on my lap!!! It took nearly 3 years but he now will sit with me most evenings. 

This came about after his surgery. I believe he noticed how I barely left him during his recovery and we began a nightly ritual called "Brush, brush" where I would brush his fur near his neck when he was wearing the "cone of shame". Roary LOVES being brushed! That tradition has continued and it has been the main way that Roary and I have finally bonded.

Roary is a loving, sweet and patient kitty who puts up with a lot from a certain woofie who also resides here!

HAPPY 3RD ADOPTION DAY "ROARY BOY!!"

We all love you so much and are so happy you are part of our family!

Mom, Dad and Levi

xoxo

  3. Happy Gotcha Day to YOU, sweet Roary!!
    I am glad you decided to have snuggle time with your Mom.
    Since you want to greet everyone, maybe you might make a good therapy cat, say at a nursing home.The peeps where I work love seeing visitors of the furry kind!

  6. Happy Adoption Day dear Roary. Precious and I do hope you have no new complications from the surgery. It is amazing that I do see the cat in my photo every year and it might be a long lost relative of yours, lol. Wonderful you now know your mom is the one to go to for brushies and lap sits. It took Precious a few years for me too. When they are adopted, I guess we never know what trauma they have gone thru or are going thru to go to a new home. Lynn and Precious

  22. Three years, my time has flown. Same thing is happing here and the little ones aren't little kittens anymore. It is fun to watch their adult personalities develop. Roary is growing into quite the handsome mancat.

  24. THRILLED to hear that he is finally discovering his inner cuddler! Just like Frodo. It was also after Frodo got really sick with allergies and I spent extra time with him (and not to mention a whole lot of dollars to see an allergy specialist) that he finally started to cuddle with me. They know when they are loved!
