Not all as it seems

Proof, if any were needed, that a photo can give an entirely false impression of a situation.

Isla still doesn't like having Harris around. Growling and hissing is regular, as is swiping at him if he ventures too close. There are signs, it's true, that she can be distracted away from him a little more, but in the main it's gonna take a lot longer.

And yet. There they are, virtually snuggled up on the sofa.

The truth... Isla had curled up asleep on there a good 20 minutes earlier (it's one of the positive signs, she can and does switch off completely at night, and still sleep as if she could never be woken). Harris jumped up onto his blanket silently, had a couple of little stretches, then conked out himself.

So I guess Isla gets on really well with Harris when she's fast asleep and doesn't know he's there.
