Just like I do with my W. I just asked an open ended question, let her talk, and asked an occasional question.
You are a cat whisperer.
Just stay patient. When the cat doesn't respond it helps to turn and walk away sometimes. Cats are curious and will follow you.

That's what I did - after my compliment, I did not respond to her 15 or so lines of I'm's other than to say it sounds like you have a busy day. Just going to back off and observe.
Interesting observations... have you seen anything related coming the opposite direction? Like I mentioned in my thread, yesterday I got the odd compliment out of the blue from my W, which I find odd considering some of the very unpleasant stuff that has been going on. The up-and-down ride of the WAW I suppose.

Can't say I have noted an abundance of compliments. She thanks me for things - mostly small stuff.
But, she just seems interested to talk to me and be around me. Her tone of voice is warmer. She isn't tense to be around me. She is more like her old self - the good version.
And, yet, she has not yet crossed the line in the sand. It's my job to make her want to do that.
