I managed to get Stella to eat some more food. She refused to eat the beef stuff, so I opened a can of fish & shrimp and she ate some with gusto. I held her for a little bit and then let her go back to her sun-spot in the kitchen.
Then, not too long after that, Malcolm jumped up on the couch and laid down in Sharky's seat. I leaned over and petted him and he fell asleep. I then laid down next to him and rested my head on his side (my arm kept most of the weight off him). He sighed and kept sleeping. Once he woke up and looked at me, narrowing his eyes in that "kissy face" expression and then went back to sleep.
That was the first time ever that he let me lay with him, holding him.
Bittersweet - Stella is fading and Malcolm is more loving. *sigh*
