Logan,
Thanks for sharing this happy news. Yay, Butter! Those of us with skittish rescued kitties can really relate to this! I had a small "breakthrough moment" with Emmett last week while I was watching the Olympics. He just jumped up on the sofa, made himself comfortable on my lap, and didn't move for over half an hour. The funniest part was that he was intently watching the TV, which he's never done before -- it was ladies figure skating, so maybe he was captivated by all the movement. When he finally jumped off my lap, he sat on the floor directly in front of the TV and stared at it for a few minutes before he walked away.

(Of course, he hasn't done this again since. Maybe I'll have to wait until the next winter Olympics! )
