[Passionaria]

I have a beautiful male Birman rescue cat named Suave. He was caged as a breeder for the first 4-6 months of his life. When he was brought to his foster Mom's he sat in an open room, unable to leave the little 3x3 space he was used to being in. He just sat there, still confined. He didn't know how to play, or interact. When I got him he stayed under the couch for a week, until I found Kitty treats. He would only come out at night when all the lights were out, so I used to pretend I was going to bed, just so I could see him.

LOL I had a psychic reading done on him (don't laugh) and it was suggested he needed a cat friend. I looked and looked for just the right cat, finally finding a very well socialized Flame Point Himalayan / Persian kitten. She was a little white ball of fluff, and walked in here like she had booked a room at the Hilton, and was making sure it was to her liking. Over the past year, she has taught Suave to play, how to be social, and even how to come to me. After 2years, he will finally come to me and ask for attention. I have yet to hear him purrrr. But I do know he feels safe and loved. Pashi
