I'm at the computer. Bucky is on the corner of the bed, looking like
he needs some loving.

So I roll over to the bed, pet him, and pick him up. I try to cuddle
Bucky, but he still seems to have issues about being cuddled by
someone in a chair - standing or sitting is fine - just not in a
chair.

So Bucky struggles and looks really worried and not a little bit
nervous. I roll back to the bed and sit him back on the bed, petting
and talking to him until he calms down.

ME: It's okay if you sit in my lap. I won't bite you very hard.

Bucky purrs while I work on his ears. The tip of his ongue is sticking
out.

ME: In fact, I probably won't bite you at all. I might tickle you
though...

I reach up and start tickling his chest, and he starts to rabbit-kick
my hand, telling me to stop (evil grin).

ME: But I WILL rub that pretty tummy!

I rub his tummy, and he rolls bak a little to let me pet his tummy.

About this time, Little Feet comes over and starts head-butting
Bucky's side, and rubbing his head against Bucky.

ME: I love you, cutie. Even Little Feet loves you, see?

Bucky looks a little nervous about Little Feet being affectionate, but
continues to purr. Bucky tries to lick Little Feet's ear, but Little
Feet has moved.

ME: Just remember that whenever you are ready, you can always sit in
my lap too. I won't make you, but you CAN.

Bucky just blisses out and says he's happy just the way he is RIGHT
NOW, thank you (big grin).

Hugs and Purrs,
Mark
