Danni, Cats are strange things aren't they? Our cat really doesnt like being patted at all and we were worried about her and MJ... MJ loves her and crawls over to where she is always, (it was actually the cat that made her crawl forwards) the cat wil tolerate MJ pulling at her and sit there purring, if it was one of us, she would have lashed out.... i dont trust her that much so do leave them alone together as she is quite unpredicatable (not like your cats that love attention) but it is nice all the same.
Yay on the crawling backwards!!! honestly i wish thats all MJ was still doing, its so much more hard work going around after them and the cleaning.... ahhhh, she finds every bit of dog hair and outs it in her mouth
