"I'd accompany them for mealtimes, so they'd start thinking of me as their food source, and of course, lots of treats for bonus points."

A few days later, Kimchi, the braver of the two, mustered up her courage to accept treats from Asa's hand. Slowly but surely, her walls began to fall down. When she allowed Asa to pet her, she switched on her purr motor for the first time.

"She was comfortable enough to climb into my lap and lay down."

Her sister Wasabi, on the other hand, kept her guard up and refused to give in. She would hide behind Kimchi as her shield and depend on her for everything.

Wasabi began many one-on-one sessions with Asa, where she was wrapped and cuddled in a soft towel. With a lot of coaxing and "purrito" time, she slowly came to realize that her human wasn't so bad.

"It took a lot of time and patience but we've finally had a breakthrough," Asa told Love Meow.
