Taking it Slow with Ellie

I'm getting hopeful that Ellie thinks I'm pretty cool. She is really coy about it, but I can tell she's checking me out.

See how she pretends to sharpen her claws on the scratching post portion of my perch? See? She's looking at me.

Now she's looking right at me. She's not even trying to hide it.

I wonder how long it will take for her to jump up here and share my perch? I can hardly wait! She threw a half hearted paw punch at me the other day so I know she likes me.
