Becoming friends

The relationship between Josh and our cat Jeter has been interesting.  At first Jeter seemed to ignore Josh and Josh didn't really know what Jeter was.  I have been concerned that Jeter would feel neglected since so much of our attention has been on Josh since he was born.  Now that Josh is mobile he is showing much more interest in Jeter.  Unfortunately in most cases this means Josh grabs Jeter and pulls on her fur.  Jeter obviously doesn't like this but she doesn't seem to get away from Josh.  Despite her age and Josh's improved crawling, Jeter is still faster than Josh and can fit into smaller places but she rarely runs away from him.  We have been trying to teach Josh how to pet her nicely but that has not worked so far (no big surprise).

Then last week we were having dinner on the porch and Josh was sitting in a seat on a bench and Jeter sat next to him.  The two seemed more interested in the food on the table than eachother but I was impressed Jeter put herself so close to Josh and Josh did not immediately grab her.  Perhaps they are starting to form a relationship... or maybe they just like seeing what's for dinner.
