My rescue cat finally sat on my lap after 8 months of hiding under the bed

Honestly, I thought my cat Jasper would never come around. He spent 8 months under my bed in my Brooklyn apartment. Then last week my neighbor said 'just sit on the floor and read out loud to him every day for 10 minutes.' I did that for 5 days straight. The sixth day he walked out, sniffed my hand, and plopped right on my knees. Has anyone else tried reading to their scaredy cat and had it actually work?

Did you try sitting on the floor with him? That low position makes all the difference for sure.

Did you sit on the floor while you read, or were you on a chair?
