Today there was a huge step forward with Eira.

She's so relaxed and grooming herself on my lap and I couldn't be more happy. Night and day from yesterday.

Carys is still a bit hesitant but she is now approaching me.

And the kittens now recognize the sound of the treat jar being opened. It took them a while to process what treats were and how to eat them but they are now champs at eating them AND licking any residue off of my fingers.

I was able to lure a frightened, escaped indoor cat in with them, too.

What a beautiful girl she is.
