Morris hasn’t given up on us yet.

He turns up at the French doors every other day or so. He comes inside, where he gets an energetic but seemingly friendly nose boop from Nysse. Morris then either leaves again, or cautiously walks around the house – with Nysse trailing him to keep a close eye on things – until he gets himself into a corner that he cannot get out of without walking past Nysse, which he doesn’t dare do. I rescue him by lifting Nysse away, and he relievedly makes a beeline for the door. He mostly looks anxious about the whole experience, but he keeps coming back.

Nysse, meanwhile, exudes an air of curiosity and territorial protectiveness, but seems neither aggressive nor overly anxious. As long as Morris’ presence doesn’t bother him too much, I guess we can keep this up. I’m curious to see where their relationship goes.
