Dear Drleela and Kkrista,

I noticed last night that Abby is spending a lot of time grooming the inside of her two back legs and her lower abdomen. I looked at the skin, and it is just pale, not inflamed. She does appear to be sensitive to flea bites as I often see her shaking her ears or head and grooming very suddenly. When I comb her however, I only find one or two fleas.

When she bit me it was a few months ago, and it appeared to be an angry and impatient gesture rather than a playful nip. She does occasionally gnaw on our fingers when being petted.

She is very nervous, very wary, very worried about noises. We have 2 children and the cats avoid them by coming in only after they have gone to bed or when they are at school.

We keep them in at night as advised by the rescue organisation, although they would very much prefer to be outside all the time.

So it is difficult to report more on her nature as she is outside a lot.

Her brother is the dominant one and he will cuddle up to us in the evening. Abby tends to wait until he has had his turn.
I Hope this helps.
