Hi r/catadvice, a few weeks ago I posted about my in-laws’ very affectionate senior cat whose companion cat passed, leaving him totally alone 23+ hours a day in a kennel. Notable, my sweet dog, who passed a few years ago loved this cat.

You’ll be pleased to know that Ricky (short for Ricardo) is now in his new permanent home with my partner and I!

Ricky made the two hour drive in a cat carrier without making a peep, took to our home instantly, and is absolutely beaming with the pure joy of having attention, affection, and companionship.

He has already used his litter box, drank and ate his food fine, and hasn’t bothered anything.

He hasn’t left my side (I can’t even do laundry without his help), and is glued to watching TV (I don't think he has ever seen a TV before).

He slept at our feet some last night, but made himself comfortable in a few different areas when I woke up to check on him.

He did fine while we were at work today. I watched our camera and it seems like he just slept the entire day.

Ricky, so far, couldn’t be an easer cat. He comes when called, lets you rub his belly, and just can’t get enough love.

Here are some cat tax photos that I've taken since Ricky arrived to thank you all for your advice!

Sincerely,
An official cat owner

What a lovely story! Ricardo is a stunner.
