I have a pretty wonderful Carys update

I mentioned earlier that she's spending most of the day just hanging out in the open. If I'm in the den, she's in the den. She sits on a side table and watches me.

Last night she did a couple of very temporary hops up on the bed and allowed me to give her a few scritches. It's been SO LONG since I've been able to give her scritches.

A couple of hours after I fell asleep I woke up to find Carys curled up on the pillow, right next to my head!!! There was very little ambient light but as soon as I stroked her fur, I knew it was Carys. That, my friends, is a first!! She's slept at the foot of the bed and once draped across my feet. She's never, ever fallen asleep on my pillow!

From the sound of things, Lady Carys is gradually learning to feel safer and safer, to the point where she feels able to let down her guard little by little. That is indeed wonderful news! 😻
