Progress in the taming of the Marmalade...

This is kind of cool - my cat, Marmalade, is actually sitting next to me.  Why is this unusual? Well, if you remember, this is the cat I adopted off the street as a "pregnant teenager".  Well, she pulled a good one on me - when pregnant, she acted like the sweetest kitty ever. As soon as the kittens were weaned? She became skittish kitty - she disappears whenever anyone else is at the apartment, and she rarely lets me pet her.  If I can catch her when sleepy, she likes pettings, but she's VERY skittish.  I picked her up and set her on the couch next to me, and she stayed! Yay!
