We visit my sister for Christmas. She has a little kitten, just over a year old, that she got about the same time we got Sam. They seem to be getting to know each other; Samantha (my sister's kitten) is tiny, Sam is huge. in comparison. Sam is a big fur ball, Samantha is sleek and elegant. Samantha is very high spirited, and stand - offish. Sam is a totally lazy slug - nothing better than curling up in someoone's lap for a sleep.
When we visited the first time, Samantha, who was only a few months old, hissed and growled. Sam ignored her.
Over the months, each visit seems to go better. Last visit at Thanksgiving, Samantha just followed Sam everywhere, at a safe distance.
This time, she ventured really close. He still ignores her, but she will walk all around him. As we were getting ready to leave, he was lying on his bed, and she was right in front of him, almost nose to nose.
And earlier in the evening, I had gone upstairs to find Sam rolling around on the floor - either trying to impress Samantha, or entice her to play.
Here he is mid roll.
