7. Slow blink means a lot. It took me 3 years to get one of my feral Russians to sleep in a heated bed! Lol

He now waits for me by the door every morning. Waits for front porch guitar time... He sits right next to my gig bag. Awesome. He won't let me touch him yet, but he and his lady and kids have been trapped and altered. 🥰🥰🥰
Patience... I am absolutely in love with this fire damaged, beat up Tom, named Smokey. Patience... one day he will touch me physically, as he has my heart.

Good luck to you and your little one. 💕
