Sam grooms Bailey all the time. She asks him too. Once in a while, he will let her groom him. But normally, if she lies to close to him, he gets up and moves away. But they have been lying like that for over an hour now. And he is now snuggled into her side. Maybe he realized that its fun!
She has been here 7 months now, and I am still seeing changes in their behaviour towards each other.
Great that they are getting along. When Em was about 3 months old I was thinking of getting him a friend. I took him over to this friend of a friend who's cat just had a litter about a month before. Em was so scared of them. He cowered between my feet and hiss if one of the little guys scampered by. Then when I picked up Em he clung to me like it was the end of the world. I figured he didn't need a friend that badly. Now that I'm moving back to my parents place he'll have their dog to pick on.
That is so adorable. I know way back when I had a male and female - they always groomed each other and cuddled together. Now that I have all females - I haven't noticed the "love" that a female and male show. Charm tried to groom Lucky once, but Lucky must've felt she is capable of grooming herself and didn't want any help.
