Sandie didn't stop in her work when she noticed the kitten looking at her.  To do that would have risked scaring the cute little thing off, and of course she didn't want that.  Shy, coming from a neglectful home, Cici had difficulty opening up to people, and of course forcing it on her wouldn't help things any.  It was better to try earning her trust, letting her get accustomed to things, maybe only occasionally helping the process along.  Ideally, she'd be able to arouse the kitten's curiosity about what she was doing, or at least get her to watch for a while.  Perhaps this would be a good way to break the ice between the two of them, make friends with that adorable little thing...
