That night changed everything!

After giving his new home a brief inspection, the cat walked right in, made himself comfortable and gave Lex a loving look, and went right to sleep. For Lex, that night changed everything.

“I remember looking out the glass and seeing him in his house. He was looking at me. He just kind of put his head down and just started sleeping. When he slept in the house, I though of it as a pivotal moment. As being part of the family,” he said.

When winter finally came, the cat, who Lex has named Cinnabon, decided he wanted to come into the house. Lex found him meowing at the sliding glass door, sitting there in the snow. Though it was clear he wanted in, he was also still very wary of the human who’d been feeding him.

“I kept the slider glass open and I’m throwing treats at him…and he would eat them. He got close enough to me. It kind of went really fast. From him not being able to be petted to him being petted and them coming in the house was a pretty quick process once we reached that milestone,” Lex recalls.

Lex decided to keep Cinnabon in the house for a while to get him acclimated to his surroundings. Thankfully, the cat took to having a house to roam right away.

Before he knew it, Lex had an energetic and fun-loving kitty running around his house playing with the cat toys Lex bought for him.

Lex still likes to let Cinnabon outside to roam and play, which he loves to do. The best thing about letting him run free, sometimes for the better part of the day, is watching him return home all on his own.
