Marco and Ginger an Update

So for the last four weeks our cat ginger has increased the time he spends downstairs. He was always a sofa hogger before Marco came to live with us, so we are happy to say he has resumed his hogging ways. However in that first week he would still hiss and lash out at the dog if he came for a sniff. 

The second week brought perseverance from Marco. he would often stand and rest his chin on the sofa to watch the cat sleep or groom himself.

By the third week Marco would sneak a lick on the cat before bouncing away, with the cat not even fussing about it. They would even be known to spend appox 30 secs sat near each other !!!

By this the fourth week we had major developments. Ginger allows Marco to groom him (for short periods). He allows him to sit/lay near him on the sofa (although Marco got a tad excited the other day and actually sat ON him !!) 

We know we are a long way off yet, but we are very happy with the results so far x
