Tabby taming update: Saba

Another one of our tabbies who came in as feral kittens and took to hiding before we had a chance to make friends, Saba has recently decided she's ready to take a leap of faith and move from wide-eyed peering at the humans to actually letting us touch her.

And not just a fingertip to nose touch, either; we're talking proper, full body stroking!
Granted, she hasn't quite lost the wide-eyed, faintly horrified expression yet, but she is showing the beginnings of a head tilt when scratched under the chin.
All in all, excellent progress for this formerly shy, shy girl.
