Your daily cat and kitten news

This is a classic Carrie position. After jumping up onto your lap she rolls over onto her side or back for tummy rubs. And it's not a trap!

My own anxiety is gone now it's clear it's going to work. I nearly fell asleep stroking her yesterday, it was so therapeutic.

You're clearly getting along excellently :)
Glad to hear your anxiety has subsided, I think it was just a case of getting used to having her around.
I cried for the first week we had Radar :oops:

I was worried she might be clingy or needy or be too full on in some other way but she's a lovely balance of affectionate, playful and independent.

I'm glad I didn't get a kitten now because I might have found it too much.

I've also relaxed about leaving her on her own now.
 
Kittens are incredibly full on, even slightly older well socialised ones.
They go through phases of hunting your feet, and then there's the well documented lurking at the end of the bed and wiggling their bum then pouncing on your head at 5am in the morning phase that typically occurs between 5 to 9 months old and requires a Strategy (covers over your head and don't react) to deal with while you end up sleep deprived.

When the Swansea Six that I mentioned up thread first came to live with me they use to climb up my legs when they could see me preparing food for them on the work top. I had to wear really tough jeans for weeks or my legs would have been permanently punctured!
