Well, I've had Larry and Lena now for a little over 7 weeks. Lena's a marshmallow. She even lets me pick her up for a few seconds and give her kisses, never stopping with the purrs.
Larry has obviously been observing. He mostly scatters if he sees me coming. He sits under the table and watches (from a safe distance) as I pet Lena and stroke her and talk to her.
The other day, I said, "You want some of this?" He walked right over to me and arched his neck, offering the top of his head for a pet. He hung around for almost a full minute as I petted him on his head and along his back.
I was shocked!!!
And then he bolted.
But, now, if I'm petting Lena, I say that to him and hold out my hand, and he just walks right under it for a little pet.
I'm very happy.......this is a huge step for this whacky kitty.
