Then for the first time ever, he actually took the treat from Lex’s hand. This was a turning point! Lex was able to pet Cinnabon.

Lex would pet Cinnabon through the slider door, and Cinnabon even started coming inside. Just for a few steps in, but still… Lex would throw him treats and try to get him to come and eat out of his hand.

He would put them on the ground one by one, so Cinnabon would come closer and closer to him.

Then it just kind of happened. It quickly went from Lex not being able to pet him, to Cinnabon coming inside and getting all the cuddles!

This was the key moment when Cinnabon realized he was home.

Lex started leaving him inside the house and letting him get to know the place. He would leave Cinnabon alone even, and he would explore and sniff around.

Cinnabon still loves going outside and playing in nature, and Lex doesn’t want to deny him his freedom.

He lets him be free inside and outside. Cinnabon is one happy cat!

Lex’s friends tease him because he used to claim that he wasn’t a “cat person”, and now Cinnabon is his best friend.

“Definitely changed me as a person, made me a lot more tolerant and kind of understand and learn what it’s like to take care of something else.”

Well, it seems like Lex needed Cinnabon as much as Cinnabon needed him. And I think he knows it.

“They say you never choose a cat, a cat chooses you. And I definitely feel in this situation, he for sure chose me.”

Now their bond is even stronger. You can keep up with their adventures on their YouTube channel or Instagram.
