The Tolerant Kitty

Stanley often chases Dickie the Cat. Dickie often runs away...this time she made the mistake by going into a bag to escape...but she slithered her way out in the nick of time:

I must say, he is getting much more gentle with the kitty. He used to only smack her like as if he was patting down sand in a bucket but now he is much more gentle. He will use his index finger and gently touch her paw or he will lay his hands on her fluff (see picture below).  Dickie is amazingly tolerant although she will swipe at him and even nip his hand with her mouth. He never cries so I think she is being gentle.

I try to explain the Stan Bear that she is biting/swiping him because she doesn't trust him yet. Hopefully she will trust him soon...he just needs to be more consistent. He adores her. I wouldn't say the same for her though!!
