I am so glad to hear about the herd- whatever it is. And this is great news about Minnie

If I look at Tigris and Filou then Tigris became more and more social and now he hardly doesn't let a visitor go before he had his belly rubs. With Filou it is the other way round. He is out and about whenever someone comes, greets with a nosekissie and then turns invisible for the time being. (And he was more social in his first half year ).

So it is very nice that your shy girl discovers the amenities of social life.
