00:00When I started seeing Bill, he came over and Rita was fine with him.
00:13She didn't love him.
00:16You know, that takes time, right?
00:19It was definitely humbling.
00:20I'm a big animal person, I work for the Dodo.
00:23She just was not feeling it.
00:26He was very interested in the way that she was obsessed with me.
00:32And he kind of wanted to get in on that.
00:34Because when Rita loves you, she loves you hard.
00:38Rita loves to cuddle on her own terms.
00:40Hey.
00:41Come here.
00:42Oh, look at sweet girl.
00:43Hey.
00:44Oh, are you not into that?
00:45Oh.
00:46Nope.
00:47Nope.
00:48Sorry, Bill.
00:49Rita gives amazing hugs.
00:50Paw over each shoulder on the sides of my neck.
01:00Just kneading and purring.
01:03But I've never actually seen her do it to anyone but me.
01:08I was determined to get one of these hugs from Rita myself, but I knew I had my work
01:13cut out for me.
01:14I would come out into the kitchen when Kate was asleep and just hang out with Rita.
01:20We made progress.
01:21She would hang out near me, but she still had this look like, you know, who is this
01:25guy exactly?
01:26Hi.
01:27Hello.
01:28Hello.
01:29But a real breakthrough happened when I discovered her obsession for the sink.
01:36Something was going on with the sink.
01:37I think there was supposed to be an attachment, but when you turn the side knob, it shoots
01:43out a small stream from the side, and Rita has decided that is her special ritual.
01:49She has three different fountains with fresh water and fresh filters, but I guess it's
01:55just not the same as sink.
01:57She would just be right there by the sink, waiting for me, expecting me to turn that
02:00little nozzle.
02:01What are you waiting for?
02:03Sink?
02:04Yeah.
02:05When she discovered that I would give her sink time whenever she wanted it, seriously,
02:11she definitely started giving me a lot more attention.
02:13Just do you like it?
02:17Suddenly, we just became such buddies.
02:20We were such pals.
02:21We were hanging out all the time.
02:28And then it happened.
02:29I was hanging out with Rita in the living room by myself, she was on my lap, and she
02:32gave me the hug.
02:35Now, yes, it was more of a one-paw around-the-neck hug, so I'm still waiting for that two-paw
02:40hug, but yeah, I'm feeling pretty good.
02:45And she has slowly determined that Bill is a great lap to flop on.
02:51What are you doing?
