We figured Missy just needed time. And to our delight, she told us she was ready to trust us with her belly on Tuesday:
Apologies for the clicking noise -- it's the lens on my (rather old) digital camera adjusting whenever it has to change focus. But Missy really is purring underneath all that.

Omigoodness, everything about her is delicious - tummy, paws, face, everything!
I just love how she does her milkie toes thing in the air as you pet her.
lol is that the oldest digital camera in existence?! is there a power crank on the side? :p
oh purr purrrrrr! she looks SO comfortable.
The camera is vintage 2004. I think it's the original Coolpix by Nikon -- no power crank, but it sounds like it, no? ;)
The alternative is a little USB webcam I can plug into my laptop, but it doesn't have good sound pick-up. So it's either hear nothing or everything ...
Oh, technology.
What a sweetie. Love her belly and her toes. Goodness.
hehe on the camera. Yes, you gotta love technology, don't you?
Those footin twitches, ohmigosh, that was SO cute!
Do be careful with the tummy...sometimes Oliver lets me pet his tummy, but then other times he lets me for a while before grabbing my wrist with his little paws and chomping down.
Missy's cues are getting easier to read -- she's learned to press a front paw gently on us when she's had her fill (she tends not use her front paws to touch us usually), and we stop right away to reinforce that behavior instead of the biting.
Have you tried watching Oliver's ears and tail, Bev? Missy will start to flatten her ears ever so slightly when she gets overstimulated and her tail starts to twitch.
