I have noticed recently that there's been a change in Ninja's attitude. To put it simply, he seems to understand, now, that I am his, and it has changed his behaviour quite a lot.
If I may anthropomorphise a bit, from how he's been behaving, he's just realised I am his human and that won't be subject to change - and seems to be really happy about it. When I see him, he rubs against every part of me he can easily get to, whilst purring and prancing cutely about. I don't know if prancing is a common feline body-language "term", but he only ever does it when he's happy so I can only assume :-)
He's grown more confident, more talkative, and more sociable (although he still stays in the kitchen and conservatory mostly, for human interaction - he rampages all over the house, though, and spends a fair bit of the recent rainy days on the top floor where he goes relatively undisturbed).
It is amazing to me. At first we were going to get the kittens for the purpose of helping Ninja become more socialised, and now that he has (of his own accord) contracted other cats into the household, the desired effect seems to be taking place. I'm so chuffed :-)
Thought you guys might like the update :-D I mentioned it in Sweep's picture thread, but I thought maybe the handsome cat in there might distract you from all the words :roll: :lol:
