She's getting closer...!

[PosiePootlePerkins]

Posted a while back about our dear new cat who has been reluctant to get too close. (Thread - Will my cat ever be a lap cat?)
Well this week I have been off work sick and she's gradually been getting closer! Has been sleeping in the bedroom doorway while I've been sleeping in bed, has been talking to me a LOT! and today while I am curled up on the sofa under a blanket, she's curled up asleep at the other end!
Bless. I don't want to get better now! I feel there is hope for the future if we carry on like this

Oh and its a good job I took that pic because 10 minutes later the doorbell went and spooked her, and she ran out into the garden
Baby steps....

Good going.

PS - Hope you're feeling better though.

Thanks cosie Yes I'm on the mend

[PosiePootlePerkins]

Oops cozie sorry not cosie!

Won't be long before she has the whole sofa and you are on the floor!

She is beautiful! I would have such a hard time restraining myself from lunging at her and trying to pet and cuddle her.

[PosiePootlePerkins]

Weeds you are of course correct!
Claraschu thank you, and yes it has been hard at times! But she's made it very clear what her boundaries are! I suspect a woman in her previous life has manhandled her, hence her reluctance (she's much better with DH). But slowly slowly wins the race!

She's a lovely girl and looks very content.

Thanks Fluffy I have loved her from day 1 and I think she is slowly learning to love me
I can share these crazy cat feelings on this forum, you all seem to understand!

[claraschu]

Sounds like you are doing just the right thing. Cats always let us know exactly what that right thing is!

I was getting ready to demand answers as to why you were posting pictures of my cat

[PosiePootlePerkins]

Captain that's so funny! A cat doppelgänger
