In the first few days, if Cubby made eye contact with any two legged animal during his explorations he'd streak right back under the bed. I noticed he'd come out at night to play with Sox and his step-sibs but if a person looked over or drew near, he was back under the bed.
The second week he'd come up and sniff our fingers and briefly rub his head against our hands. The next step: he let us pet him.
And then he trusted us enough to eat from our hands!
Then he'd jump on the bed and join us in the evening when we were reading. Now he's actually snuggling!
He still won't let us pick him up.
Cubby says: Maybe next week! :D

Now this is great news!
It's really hard to trust again when you had bad experiences in the past for some cats.
Othello trusted easily again but i guess Kashim does not fully trust me even after more than 5 years being with me now.
Keep on Cubby you can trust em they are nice peoples!
That's so true ! My 5 cats are all very different. The shyest one is Kim the black. She lives with us for 4 years now but still keeps her distances it's strange because I know her from birth on and she always had a good life. She gets a nervous breakdown if you dare to pick her up, lol !
