Days Since Lady Jane Grey Has Bit Me: 0

[lydy]

I have taken to sitting in the media room after work for an hour or so to be social with LJG. I was petting her, and she draped one front leg over my petting hand. If she were Naomi, this would have been an invitation to scrubble her belly, so I did that thing. She instantly did a hug-bite-kick, and now I have a slash on the heel of my hand, and two puncture wounds. She stopped, instantly, and I put my hand on her head in the "mother admonishing kitten" way, and told her that she had behaved badly. She did not struggle or protest being disciplined in such a fashion. That's interesting because she normally does. She tends to squirm and vocalize; this time she just lay there, looking a bit repentant. I got up and put antibiotic creme on my various injuries, and she was still on the couch when I got back, and responded well to being petted (on the head, not the belly). I really need to not pet her belly, I think.

Meanwhile, ouch.

Lady is genuinely repentant. She is surprisingly anxious to please, for a cat. This makes it me extremely optimistic.

Just at the moment, and she and Nuit are sitting about one foot apart. Lady issued her challenge-song when Nuit settled down, but then got bored and went back to sleep. Nuit only gave a short, melodic response, and then also went to sleep. Just as I was typing this, Lady woke up, looked at Nuit, and lay her head back down. This is downright amiable. Pamela also saw Lady and Ninja engaged in what, if they were toddlers, would be called parallel play, where they were both galloping up and down the hallway, though not actually interacting with each other. I really think this might work.
