How old is Scout? She sounds like she may be fairly young and still have many kitten ways about her. This is just like my Sky.
According to the shelter Scout is suppose to be around a year old but my vet thinks she isn't quite that old yet. In fact, she is so small that my vet thought she was still a kitten when she first saw her and really doubted she was much older until she saw some tartar buildup on her teeth. That stumped my vet. All I know about her is she was being abused by some young boys (mostly playing too rough with her) and was taken away from them. The shelter said she was pregnant when she was brought in and the pregnancy was ended when she was spayed. However old she is I think she is making up for her lost kittenhood and yes, she still has many kitten ways about her.

She got in bed with me this morning, crawled under the covers and slept by my feet for a little while. My husband and I are really giving her lots of extra TLC and it seems to be bringing her out of her shell. I think she's a keeper!!
