Poor but lucky baby. I'm sure that Scottie realizes that she's scared and she realizes that he's no threat.

Spring is in the air. All the cats got high on catnip this afternoon. They were outside and I stuck my head out the backdoor to check on them and there was his little Lordship in the catnip bed -- which is covered with leaves at the moment -- pawing at the leaves and burrowing his nose into them. After a bit, he comes back in very frisky. Then the Hearth Queen, who indulges regularly, came in and went to sleep it off. The War Queen was still outside so I closed the glass door and went to sneak a read in one of my new books. Moonie was at the computer in the Dining Room when we both heard a solid "thud". Moonie investigated and found the War Queen sitting on the back steps looking a bit puzzled. She let her in and the Queen came into the bedroom and jumped up on me for a cuddle. The fur on her neck was damp and smelled of earth and mint....
Her Majesty had been rolling in it, got buzzed on the catnip and had then tried to bound through the closed glass door. The thud we had heard was her hitting the door.
Everyone is fine now.....

Well, Bobi is out and running around now. She, unlike the rest of the furbabies, is no respecter of other kitty's space. Where Lexy owns the kiddo's bed and room, and Makki owns our bed and room, Bobi roams at will on everyone's bed! She likes to jump up and run across D when he's sleeping too!

She and Lexy have been fussing a lot at each other. This makes sense, as they are the two females in the pride/pack.  Bobi is still a bit scared, but she is secure enough to fuss and then back off, instead of holding her ground like she was cornered. She has gained a little weight, so she now has some flesh over her ribs, so I feel better about that. I had thought she might have a navel hernia, but it turns out it was only a subcutaneous fat pocket (normal in animals) that was only apparent because she is so thin. It took a while before she let me check her tummy for abnormalities. I have slowly been checking everything on her, since the first time I tried to examine her  she was so scared she snapped at me. I wish I knew how and why she got so thin though. It is obvious from her skin that she used to carry more weight. Oh well, that is something I will never know. At least she is eating well and gaining weight. She is starting to shed less, and her fur is feeling less dry.

She has the most charming habit; when she is in my lap, if I speak she turns her little face up and looks me in the eyes while I am speaking, whether I am talking to her or not. And she likes to knead on bare skin. She will dig around or climb up on you to find it too, whichever seems easier to her at the time. LOL

Anyway, my rambling and all aside, she seems to bo doing well, and getting calmer every day.
