Gizmo is reliably touching my hand when I hold it out to him now. It's not always a paw on my palm, sometimes it's still a light touch. However, when I hold my hand up vertically rather than horizontally, he doesn't know what to do.

I worked a little with Simba on paw to hand. With him, it was just a matter of getting him to sit and then just move his paw. I got it a few times, but I don't think he realizes yet that lifting his paw is actually what I want him to do.

Whenever I work with Simba now, he has a habit of walking around me, purring, and trying to give me kisses. He really enjoys kissing! It doesn't seem to bother him that he doesn't get treats for kissing when I don't ask him to do it.

Strangely, for the very first time, Simba decided to sleep stretched out by my side last night. Both of the boys generally sleep either against my ankles or behind my knees. I've no idea whether this is related to clicking or not.
