I think Scout trying to wrestle hard with Jazz may be Scout's way of establishing the "pecking order". As for the slash to your nose, maybe Scout has a thing for what she feels is getting in her space. I don't think she meant to hurt you. My Tucker does the same thing if you touch her and she does not want to be touched....she give you a good swat or she will even bite at you. I don't think it is a personality disappearing, just maybe some TLC and she will come out of her shell.

I know that when I got all of my furkids they each had their own personnality all ready established. I think Tigger (10 years old) took the most time, she has only become more affectionate as she has gotten older.

I will keep my fingers crossed for you. Best of luck.
