This pretty girl is Priscilla Rich. She was part of the very first litter we fostered. Of that litter of 4 kittens my mom adopted two, we adopted one, and this one was adopted by another family. Well, last week I got an email that the family wanted to send Priscilla back. Since she's out baby girl we couldn't let her go somewhere else!!! So she's back. She's pretty anxious and nervous still (I think the family with young children was too hands-on for her developing shy nature), but she is actually doing a ton better than we initially expected. Priscilla and Shuri have even been found snuggling or playing together a time or two. They have been pretty comfortable with eachother from the get-go and I suspect there's some familiarity since they are sisters, after all. We've started introducing P to the rest of the house (after several days of security in the kitten room). Ginger gave her a hiss and true to her behavior as a kitten Priscilla just looked at her blankly. :) Ginger isn't actively hostile toward her, just sulky, but Priscilla is a big girl -- fluffy like Shuri, but much larger, and probably as big as Ginger now! Gin likes to be the cat in charge so we were worried P might allow herself to be pushed around by Ginger. If that happened we'd have a sad kitty, and that's no good :( BUT she seems to be brushing off Ginger's complaints just like she did as a little fluff ball. We're really sad that Priscilla didn't find her forever home when she was adopted out as that gorgeous little kitten, but we're happy to have her back. She may not be allowed to leave again! Also -- pictures of "pirate Shuri" with her poor eye that's still pretty sore today. She's totally laid back about it, but it's kinda pitiful anyway. That first picture of her she's actually just yawning, but looks quite fierce ;) via Facebook
