Cat update. :)
Mar. 30th, 2009 03:11 pmWe are slowly making progress... Thomas has allowed both of us to scratch his chin for a whole two seconds, and it looks like his comfort zone has reduced from well over six feet to about one. He still jumps away if we get too close, but with less haste. Patience and all that...
Teddy has decided that three weeks of playing the Ghost Kitten are enough, and he would like cuddles NOW, thankyouverymuch. :)
He appeared at my feet yesterday morning while I was sitting at the pc and Beloved was still asleep, and he let me stroke him.
We had more cuddles last night (he actually jumped on the bed!!) and this morning. Very happy about that, although they are both still *very* skittish. We want to take them to the vet for vaccinations etc, but not until they are a little more comfortable around humans (Thomas especially).
Anyway - I can haz pictures.........:)
Thomas has claimed the sofa as a favourite napping spot:

A proper update to follow shortly - consider yourselves hugged. :)
