Yes, her…

Brussel!!!

I’ve been able to sneak a touch while she was eating on the cat house roof maybe twice before. She’d panic and run off.

Today, she was at the water bowl in the sunroom as I came in from outside, her back to me. I started to pet her back, and she just kept drinking! A couple of other friendlier cats started to push in on either side of her, wanting pets, too, so she started looking around. That’s when she finally looked behind her and saw me, still petting her back.

She moved away immediately, but not in a panic, and not in a run. She just went under my husband’s walker and watched me.

So I started petting other cats, and saw the fluffy tortie was in reach, so I picked her up. Her response was to immediately start purring! She still wanted down, but she enjoyed some cuddles, first.

I even got to pet Sad Face (AKA: Shop Towel) for a bit.

I’m just so excited to finally pet Brussel. It’s only taken a couple of years! She’s been hanging out in the sun room a lot more, too.

Now, if only her short haired sister, Sprout, would start coming to the sun room, too. I’ve stopped putting food under the shrine, so she at least had to come to the kibble house to eat.

Progress!
