When Betsey went to take care of Proctor yesterday he got close enough to her to smell her hand. That's a huge step for him.
Today when she went over she didn't see him at first. She called "Hi Proctor…" and he meowed to her from wherever he was, but didn't make any attempt to come to her. She went to the kitchen and saw that he was sitting by the fridge, just waiting.
Usually he doesn't allow her to get too close to him, but she realized that if he wanted to get to the food she was going to put out for him, he would have to walk right past her, which was pretty close. He did, and he actually let her pet him! It was a good petting session too--head, back, tummy, etc.
I asked her if he purred. She said "No, but at least he didn't hiss at me!"
Sunday: I wanted to wait until we had a picture of Proctor to publish this. Betsey told me he is a really big cat, and he surely is!

Clever title for this post.
Aaaagh! Possessed kitty!
That's good that he's warming up to her.
I forgot about the shining eyes, Helena. That's hilarious.
