Tex turns out to be super affectionate. He loves when you pet him and fuss over him. When you first enter the room, Tex is not interested in food, not in play – the only thing he wants is for you to pet him. Preferably sitting down so he can be on your lap, and you can be petting and rubbing his head with both hands, and telling him what a sweet boy he is. This is heaven for Tex.
Cats run the gamut from very aloof to very social, and Tex and Sylvie are way towards the social end of the scale. And these two were taken from an environment where there were many other cats, and people also paid attention to them. They’ve adapted very well, but they really miss their friends! We’re doing our best to be a good substitute as they adjust to their new life.
