Another step for Molly

Oh that's lovely, Jo! I remember that slow road with Nikki. Aww, pretty
little Molly is really coming around.

It seems that the more assertive and in charge Molly has become with Jake

After last night I actually envision being a little old lady in a rocking
chair someday, with Molly curled up in my lap.

Good for her and good for you! That's wonderful!

For those that haven't been here for the whole saga, Molly arrived over
three years ago. An eighteen month old feral calico girl who had not only
lived on her own, but raised her babies on her own as well. She would
barely let us touch her. Picking her up was out of the question. So was
being an indoor only cat.

Last night she followed her recent routine of coming in our room as soon
as we went to bed. This time she jumped up and snuggled close to be. But
on the side away from the edge of the bed so I could get up without moving
her. She has learned I don't stay put all night. Only our second cat ever
to prefer sleeping next to me over sleeping by Charlie.

So I thought when I got up to get a drink of water and take my pills, 'why
not?'

I slid my hand under her gently and between her front legs and rolled her
over to her back. And for the first time ever rubbed her tummy. Almost
cried while I did it too.

Awww. What a magical moment that must have been!
