The cats have been getting more and more comfortable around Kodo as time goes on. Pippin is the most comfortable- he will walk right up to Kodo, trill at him, then head-butt and rub his face on him. In return Kodo will snuffle Pip's head and try to sniff his rear. I think he may have even given him a tiny lick on the head once. Sometimes Kodo has just finished drinking when Pip comes up to him, so the Kodo snuffling ends up cascading quite a bit of puppy-slobber and water onto poor Pip's head. And Pip tried to eat from Kodo's food dish once too- Kodo just kinda nosed him away and kept eating instead of getting upset.
Weeble will usually walk a circle around Kodo instead of getting too close, but he actually came and sat on my chest and purred when I was lying next to a napping Kodo one time. Another day Kodo was in play mode and came bouncing at Weeble. Weebs made his siren mew noise and picked a paw up as a warning. Kodo though this was a play invitation so he picked his paw up and pawed back.. which of course Weebs didn't appreciate much. The trials of translating different languages I guess!
Poor Kimi has the hardest time of it. One evening she was on the couch and Kodo was standing right next to the couch looking at her. She leaned forward to sniff at him, and he very slowly leaned forward too until their noses were almost touching. Then Kim jumped back, hissed, and thumped him on the nose with her paw. No claws, but it was a pretty hard thump. I figure she all of a sudden realized "Holy $%!#!!! That's not a cat!!!" :) I felt the worst for Kodo though- he jumped back with a hurt look on his face and ran to the opposite side of the room. He was just trying to get acquainted, and he really didn't do anything wrong. Since then he has been really wary of Kim, though the other two he seems fairly comfortable with.
