I've been trying to bond with our cat for the past few months ever since I started living in her house. Calling her name, giving her treats, petting her, being the one to let her inside and outside, and hoping she likes me.
Today she came into the bedroom and jumped up onto my lap for the first time! I got to pet her a ton, and hilariously she was stepping over my keyboard and walking in front of my monitor. I was in the middle of a dungeon in FFXIV but I've never been so happy to be interrupted, I was laughing the whole time and trying to give her as much attention as I could. I got her a bowl of treats and watched her eat it on my desk, and it made me really happy that she likes me enough to do that, and I didn't even really have to convince her or anything. She just wanted to say hello and be affectionate. 😊
