Kirsten, I am sorry to hear that your back hurts again so badly. And I am sorry to hear that your mom and her bf don't take seriously what you say. I can't understand the dumb jokes about cats some people make and I can't understand people who taunt animals in the zoo, or try to scare a kitten (why can't he scare someone his size?)

On the other hand I am sure Lily will learn whom to avoid. You want to make sure that your little girls doesn't experience anything bad - but no parent, whether of skinkids and furkids can make that possible.

I think Lily up to now is socialized very well and that will be her basic behavior against others. It won't be changed by a single bad experience.

Give her some nosekissies from me.
