Thanks for asking, Sia1 ~ it is so nice to hear the pitter patter of kitten paws around the house! Debra went for her boosters last night and has gained some weight - she is up to 7 1/2 lbs. She has fully recovered from her spay surgery, and is delightfully playful! I've had such fun buying toys for her; she can also enjoy Lily's toys that never really were played with.
Not showing much of a tendency toward being a lap cat or being held, but the silver lining is that Lily has turned over quite an affectionate new leaf since she has become aware of Debra and the fact that our attention is being bestowed elsewhere.Now Lily insists upon curling up on my lap each and every evening for some petting/brushing.

Debra respectfully keeps her distance from Lily, and growls like a dog if their eyes meet. One or the other usually turns and walks away before they get very close. I think Lily's eyesight may be dimming, because she does not notice where Debra is sometimes, and emits a startled hissss when she spots her. I think they will eventually coexist fairly well, but I'm not pushing the issue. All in good time.Will post a photo soon!
