Big brother Bruce has been with her since I brough her home Thursday night,he normally feeds on another shelf & then spends the day watching life from the top shelf of the pen,not over the last few days,he would go to bed with the others but as soon as he was allowed out he went & laid with his baby sister & today he fed in his usual place but then chucked Welly out of his place so once again he could be near his sister,he has stayed there all morning with her,bless him,just sitting looking at her,I think he was sending his vibes out to her.At this moment in time she is tipping out the toy box so fingers crossed....

I've only just seen this thread, JCKKerrison. I think Pansy is very fortunate to have a mum in your position, although I don't suppose that makes it any easier for you to deal with. Good news that she's making good progress - she's a beautiful little cat, really striking facial markings and eyes. And how heart-melting about Bruce, that's a lovely photo. Fingers crossed she continues to mend, keep us posted on how she's doing. Fluffy hugs from me and Freyja.
