Stray kitten report 3: Progress! Charlie ( yep, a name now, and also, pretty sure he's a little male) accepts gentle petting, sort of, though sudden moves and my phone still spook him. I tried to capture three video sequence, but it is still difficult.
He's now meowing for food in broad daylight, and that's a change over the last weeks: before, our 'meeting hour' was only at dusk or night. Our routine: eat, pet while eating, then play time chasing a stick. Then he walks back.
