Last night while I was sitting in the back room contemplating all that
didn't get done, my little calico girl came in to see what I was up to. Now earlier she had spent a good fifteen minutes denuding a catnip plant. (Camera is still missing) She gets her head in the middle of the plant, rubs her cheek in the dirt and grazes. Well she looked at me and looked at the blanket next to me. I encouraged a few bedmice, on the off shot she might show an interest. She attacked! Killed those suckers. Then she came to the edge of the blanket which was folded up next to me, and reached out a paw and touched me. When that worked, she flexed her little paws and actually kneaded my leg a few times. Then curled into a circle and laid down with her back up against my leg. From this cat this is all such an honor. It was a Christmas gift of the highest order. Jo |

She's very, very sweet, and can be quite affectionate...on her terms, of course! I had her for two years before I could convince her it was OK to get up on the sofa. She never learned how to play, unfortunately. I believe she was taught not to get up on ANY furniture from her previous humans, as she has *never* gotten up on anything but 'her chair', in the kitchen, and relatively rarely, the sofa. I have spent the last several year trying to teach her to be a lap kitty. It's a long story, best suited for another post, but I have had some real success. I hope your Molly continues to be more sociable. it takes a *lot* of time and patience. The results are priceless, of course. ~~~~~~~~~~~~ "Life without cats would be only marginally worth living." -TC, and the unmercifully, relentlessly, sweet calico kitty, Kenzie.

That's wonderful that she's opening up, even if it's under the influence. I wish that I had that ability. It is a wonderful Christmas gift to be able to bond a little more, and bring out a bit more of that confidence, playfulness and love that's is there. |

The only lap cat I had today was Bozzy. Yoda stayed to himself, I don't think he feels well becuase that's unusual for him. Will have to watch him tomorrow. Boots & Frank stayed hidden all day, but that's the norm for them, they don't like company. Biskit wasn't very social either. Sherry |

Sounds like she's well on the way to becoming a cuddly cat. Joyce |

Sounds like she's well on the way to becoming a cuddly cat. I can't see that happening. She is about four years old. Two years feral including raising kittens, and two years with us. She is sweet but not very trusting. And she is such a good cat. Too good for her own good if you know what I mean. If she were a child she would be diagnosed with attachment disorder. So we enjoy what she can give us and keep her happy, warm and fed. Jo |
