Progress

I think ive gone up a trust level with Billy (or is it just because he loves food?) I cut some thin strips of beef, left over from Ds dinner, got down on the floor and wriggled as far as I could under the sofa (its a reclining one, so there is quite a space underneath it when the leg bits are up)

Billy, obviously feeling hungry, crept forward and ate a bit of beef I held out to him. I fed him other bits.. slowly making him come further out from his hiding place.

At last, he came all the way out, and whilst hoping for more food, allowed me to stroke him, and he rolled on the floor with me present.

Lilly is still under the sofa, eyes like dinner plates glowing with the light from the room. Poor darling..
