Thanks to all

Cataholic, I am still going slow and letting Ebby set the running, so to speak, with Bob (except I hope she doesn`t do any running in reality lol). The other morning she did go down to near the bottom of the stairs and stuck her head through, Bob looked, went over quite close, she hissed, he went away, she went back upstairs, so I guess that is some sort of progress, even if it is slow
NoahsMommy, yes, Ebby is getting more social, with me anyway. She is a lot less inclined to run away and also seems to enjoy being stroked now and again. She hasn`t used under the sofa bed as a hidey hole for a few days now so today I blocked most of it off and she doesn`t seem bothered. She has this routine worked out now for the mornings, when I go in there first thing with her food she comes and sort of greets me, I stroke her and lift her on to my lap (about 10 seconds is the max so far) then she goes into my bedroom to look through the window, by the time I have cleaned out the litter tray, she is back in having a munch, then back onto my windowsill while I wash, dress and sometimes stays while I take Bob out for his walk. After that she goes back and forth between the two rooms for most of the morning.

So, onward we go!
