Loving eye-blinks

My Murray, who for a long time never wanted to make direct eye contact (maybe he learned that wasn't "polite" when he was feral), is now giving me loving, slow eye-blinks. He also sometimes stares into my eyes when *I* give *him* love-blinks. I've been trying to do the latter for a while, to try to get him to make more eye contact, and it seems to be working.

Gosh, that's great! "Making eyes" is one of my favorite ways of interacting with our cats. Especially since neither of our current cats cuddle much (compared to our prior cats, anyway.)
