Glad to hear she's getting back to normal. Cats are badasses like that.
We have a city lot with a gnarly alley behind us. Cats back there don't fuck around. Saw a cat fight yesterday on my neighbors deck. They were knocking furniture over going at it. I was in awe and sad at the same time. [Reply]
Our black cat passed last year at only 7 years unexpectedly. We got a new cat at the end of last year and he's the most gentle thing with the 2 year old who literally tackles and squeezes him. He just lets it happen and absolutely adores his little friend.

My new kitty family is starting to warm up to the Hoomans. They all came in to nap out and watch the KSU-ISU game with me today. Cold and rainy outside, warm and toasty by the TV in the bedroom. Mama Tina is the Tortie, Otis is the fuzzy black kitten and Tony the Orange Tabby.
Tony and Otis' first birthday was March 10th. Yesterday my sis and law and my niece and nephew came over for lunch and to play with the kitties. They aren't allowed to have pets in their rental house. So they come visit ours occasionally. Tony and Otis got a bunch of cat treats and a big cardboard box to play in. They're very good with the kids. Here's Tony playing with the kids after lunch:
Had to put my 14 year old chocolate lab down tonight. He’d had hip problems his whole life (had one replacement) and had recently had a lot of airway issues. Was finally time.
