Getting Closer

Milly jumped up onto the sofa next to George. Notice that they are a lot closer on these pictures and that George is awake.

Start of play



Milly tapped George's paw (or backside, or tail) playfully



George half sits up and moves and raising his paw, away from Milly.



When George puts his paw down, Milly edges in again.



Repeat from start of play, until George gets annoyed and walks off

They are definitely getting physically closer.
Although George growls at her and moves away, after she has pounced on him several times.
If she would stop poking him, they would be friends a lot faster.
