Hey there! It’s me, Odin, your new kitten! You wouldn’t believe how much I’ve changed since I was rescued with my siblings from under the house where we were born. When I first got here at my TC Paw foster home, I was pretty scared—I hissed a lot and didn’t want anything to do with people. But with my foster mom's patience and letting me come closer when I was ready, everything’s different now. Now, I’m super happy! My tail is always up, and I love playing and jumping around with my siblings and for the toys my foster mom uses to entice me. Oh, and feeding time? That’s the best time for us to bond. My foster mom used to gently pet me, maybe give me a little kiss on the head, or even stroke my belly and lift me just a little bit, but not too high. I started to realize that being close to my person means food and care, and I liked that! Now I don’t even need food to let her pick me up anymore and kiss my head. I am learning that the word “kisses” before I get my food means mom is going to gently scoop me up and give me a kiss. I can’t help but soften up because I know what’s coming next. I get so excited! I love wet food! Don’t worry, I’m not into biting or scratching people—I’ve got my scratching post for that. If I forget and use the chair, just remind me, and I’ll stop. We’re going to be great friends once I settle in! If I hide at first, trust me, it’s not because I don’t like you. I just need a little time to feel safe. Blocking off all those sneaky places like under the bed, behind the dresser, or inside the couch, will help me come out and get to know you better. I might try to squeeze into some spots, but if you put a pillow or something there, I’ll get the hint! Oh, and let’s not forget my favorite game! I absolutely love chasing the "birdie" on the string you tied to a stick. Jumping high to catch it is the best! It’s definitely my favorite thing to do with you. I’ve become a real sweet boy, haven’t I? My siblings Scooby and Smoke are good boys too. Take a look at their pages too.
