We've actually been on vacation, me, Jimi, Isaac, doggo, and some friends and their doggo. I got a place for myself and the cats, Jimi was no more or less shy, Isaac is always brave and adapts. I'm home a while and Jimi sometimes lies and grooms on the other side of the sofa, if I am online. Then he knows I will be still. I'n not allowed to pet. I wonder if I will ever be.
