Lexi might be the most gorgeous cat in the world, but she is also the most sweet and affectionate🩷
At the rescue she was so shy and scared and hid from everyone. I made her a Cat Cave/Lexi Lounge for her to comfortably hide for as many days until she felt safe to venture out. But she is being so brave and adventurous so far! I’m trying to stay chill and nonchalant as to not freak her out😭 little does she know im ecstatic as can be
This is my first time having a cat, so if anyone has any tips to make her as happy and comfy as possible, pls share!!

I got a new housemate recently and he brought two cats with him; they're rescues and were very briefly street cats so they're slow to trust people, they've spent a lot of their time staring at me from a safe distance and then running away if I get too close (pippa I'm sorry but if you sit at the top of the stairs while I am at the bottom of the stairs, this is going to happen eventually).
It's been a month of trying to be slow/quiet around them so I don't startle them, offering them toys and treats by showing them what I have in my hand, putting them near them on the ground and then backing up. One of them has been more comfortable with me than the other, always sniffs my hand if I hold it out to her but hasn't been overly fussed About Me, if that makes sense. Well about five minutes ago she was sat meowing outside of my bedroom so I opened the door and held out my hand and she did the headbut into my hand and let me pet her 😭 it felt so nice to feel trusted by her I'm crying
Pictured is the cats, the one you can actually see is Posey, she's the one who trusts me more & let me pet her. Pippa is the one hiding in the back and honestly that sums up their personalities pretty well. (their owner took this picture when they'd been here a day or so)

I found her at a family gathering about 7-8 years ago. The previous lady who was taking care of her & a colony of feral cats moved away, leaving her without a consistent food source. She hung around me the whole day, soaking up the sun from a lawn chair while occasionally stealing some of my mac & cheese. That day I ended up taking her home, now she’s my whole world. Since then, i’ve started studying all things cat (especially feline behavior), working at animal shelters, occasionally fostering, & volunteering at other animal shelters + different pet retention services. She’s taught me so much & has given me the motivation to be better everyday. I don’t know what i’d do or be without her.

It took about a year of trust building to let me pet her and now she is so snuggly and loves to sit on my lap. She still doesn’t want to come inside though maybe one day but if not that’s okay too. She has an insulated cat house that she loves. Her name is no-tail because she’s a Manx. I love her very much.

Its snowing today-in April- just for me. Snow is something special and personal to me. So the universe basically just wished me a happy birthday. Here’s to 24 I guess.
