Pru will sit on my lap or chest and start vigorously kneading away, a real work out, and will roll on her side to have her belly rubbed, and then stretches her back legs out. I love this and I'm hoping she is.
I am getting her out from behind the futon to get her on my lap and after our sessions, usually a couple of hours at a time, with napping on both our parts, I put her back in the room and she RUNS to get behind the futon again.
She seems to open up, although any noise or sudden movements, she curls right up and puts her nose under my arm to hide. She has not meowed at all, although she purrs, and her tail is always tucked between her legs. Talk about mixed signals.
Am I doing the right thing with her? I didn't wait for her to come to me, and she still won't, I initiate our contact. Is the kneading, stretching out routine a sign of trust on her part or just submission? It seems good to me, but the running behind the futon as soon as she gets in the spare room makes me think otherwise.
Any thoughts on this?
