We have 5 other cats. Lady Bella was "the cat". When she accepted you, she fully accepted you. It took her a while before I was accepted, but one I was, she was such a love bug. I'd be laying down for a nap, and almost every day, I would feel her paw gently touching my lips, wanting pets. She came to the foot of the bed every night I went into the bedroom, just to greet me. Then back on my wife's pillow for sleep. She used to sleep above my wife's head, paws gently touching her hair.
Naps today were hard. We drank A LOT last night, but we're getting through.
