For those who don't remember: Dino is the 7 year old boy who lives with my mother and her fiancé, Reinhold. They run a little restaurant in the forest, and Dino used to live the life of an indoor/outdoor cat - until little Peggy moved in last year. From the day she arrived, Dino refused to enter the house, obviously he immediately accepted the indoors as Peggy's territory, even though she's also spending many hours outside (something I always argue about with my mother and Reinhold).
Anyway, Dino survived the long and cold winter outside by sleeping in a warm styrofoam box, but now he's happy about the spring and the warm weather. And the best thing is - a couple of weeks ago, he started making friends with Peggy! They are greeting eat other, and he's often sitting under the window, waiting for her and calling her. Considering how much he hated her in the past, this is really a huge progress (my theory is that this has something to do with Peggy's hormone level. Dino used to play with her in the beginning, when she was a kitten, but when she matured and got into heat, she tried to dominate him, and he couldn't handle that and stayed away from her. She was spayed in November, but I guess it took a while until her hormone levels went down. Now she's accepting him as the alpha, and they're getting along much better).
Dino loves me, and when I had a coffee in the coffee garden of the restaurant on Friday afternoon after work, he showed up, came into my lap, gave headbumpies and purred. He also seemed to like my backpack, as you can see in the photos:
