OUR FORUM IS UP BUT WE ARE STILL IN THE MIDDLE OF UPDATING AND FIXING THINGS. SOME THINGS WILL LOOK WEIRD AND/OR NOT BE CORRECT. YOUR PATIENCE IS APPRECIATED. We are not fully ready to answer questions in a timely manner as we are not officially open, but we will do our best.

They had a 2 hour session yesterday, we stopped it when they were both too tired to move a muscle. It’s very intense for everyone involved.
Owen is slowly learning to mount the proper way, so it’s going better. Molly actually sits still during that type of mounting. The only problem is that he doesn’t know when to stop, so I have to break it up sometimes. He’ll be on top of her for minutes if you let him.
He seems to come out as the dominant one: he doesn’t allow Molly to mount him and demands a lot of grooming. And she gives it to him more often. There are still attempts from both sides, but it he’s on top of her 90% of the time.
They often cuddle up after a little chasing and mounting attempts. It tires them out, and it’s cute to see them take comfort in each other 🥰
Here are some pics!
It’s locked for a reason, young lady…
A snuggle after some pretty intense mounting and chasing:
Molly grooming Owen:
Both eating the rest of their dinner without arguing over the bowls:
Owen is tired and being as flat as a Dutch pancake. Does this guy even have bones?
Molly is less afraid, and even allows us to pet her in the bathroom sometimes. Bas still can’t pet her in the living room because she’s so scared.
I can pet her occasionally if she’s in her pen. At first she walks away from my hand. If she wants to be petted she sits down in a corner so that she sits firmly. It took us so long to find out that that was her way of giving me permission to pet her!
Bas took a chance yesterday and gave her a raisin. That made her less afraid. Then he started to pet her very gently, and she started to purr and loafed! It lasted for minutes and she really loved it 🥰
