It takes a lot for animals to trust humans completely. But somehow when they become members of your family they trust you wholeheartedly.
Copper, our dog, trusted us from the moment we laid eyes on each other at the breeder's house. Dali, our cat, took a while. Years later though he suddenly loved us so much that he KNOWS we won't do anything to hurt him.
Just this morning, I was about to leave home to go to work when I saw him lying down by the driveway and getting some sun. I was trying to get him up to move out of the way but he wouldn't budge. He just lay there, lazily, probably thinking all the while that I was just stroking his fur. He wasn't smacked in the middle, if I maneuvered the car to the left a bit while backing up I would completely miss him. Which is what I did. And while he could see that the car was backing up, he still didn't move. Animal trust! He KNOWS I won't run him down or even pretend to. Smart cat!
