I stepped out for a moment, and came back to find Decimus had left baby jail, and was exploring my office/bedroom.

Which gave me a chance to get this photo.

Just look at that adorable little tongue blep!

Decimus was willing to sniff at my fingers when I held out my hand, but was very nervous and skittish.

Then she found the other food bowls that still had wet cat food in them, and cleaned them all up!

I left the room again for a while, and when I came back, she was curled up with her kittens again.

While she may not have been willing to let me touch her while she was out and about, if we reach in to give her ear and neck scritches while she’s with her kittens, then pull our hands away, she will actually reach out and grab our hands to pull them back for more pets!

She seems to be coming around to this whole “humans might be okay after all” thing.
