Bella doesn't always lie down in her corner right away after her walk. Today she stayed sitting waiting for her treat. Bella doesn't always curl up with her tail tightly against her. A couple of times she sat in a Sphinx position with her two teddy bear paws forward, watching me with interest. She looks so huggable in that position, but I refrain.
My neighbor, also Leslie, lent Bella a stuffed dog. (I presume she knows it may not be returned in the condition in which it arrived.) I played with it in front of Bella and she watched with curiosity.
The cats like it when I talk with Bella. They come in to ignore her. Circe drinks from her water bowl. Imja jumps up on the dresser to look down on her.
I do pet Bella. I think she leans against my hand when I scrunchy the thick fur under her ears. In any case, she no longer turns away. She sometimes even looks up at me after I stop. She doesn't necessarily have a "why did you stop" look, but at least seems to acknowledge that something has passed between us, something that was more nice than scary.
