Yay! I was sat away from him, I'd had my eyes closed briefly, and when I looked his way I thought I saw him disappear into the Suite. Then I saw the bedding in the corner - his secret burrow had been disturbed.
I left the room for a couple of minutes and when I returned I saw he had walked along the Royal Thoroughfare to the opposite end. I sat waiting patiently, sunflower seed in between my fingers, and as he made his way back towards the Suite, I opened the cage door, gently pushed my hand inside. He simply watched as I held the treat for him. He walked towards me and took it, but wouldn't allow me to touch him. He didn't run away, simply dodged my fingers, and stood his ground.
I didn't attempt to touch him again. I knew he wasn't going to allow me to, and I didn't want to cause him any upset at all.
This is just the second time I've put my hand inside the cage with food in my hand. The first time was to retrieve a piece of banana I had dropped, and he took that from me aswell.
I am so happy about tonight, not just seeing him, but having him take the sunflower seed from me, not through the bars where he may feel safer, but inside his home, Kage's Kingdom, without any physical barriers. As far as I am concerned. this is another step forward in our relationship. Slowly, but surely. I'm not going to rush Kage. We'll take it at his pace, with me perhaps encouraging him a little, so we build up a trust between us.
It's times like tonight, albeit it 3 o'clock in the morning. that really makes me believe we are making progress, real progress, our way, slowly, surely
