kayreCats: Lilly clearly has kitty PTSD and is very wary, but loosens up a little more each day. In fact as I type she's sitting at my feet asking for pets; usually that's reserved for one of her two safe spaces.
The first time I brought out a laser pointer, I thought I had broken Livvy-- she went manic chasing it, and kept hunting for the red dot for literally hours after I stopped. I wasn't sure I dared try it again, but recently she destroyed her feather toy and wouldn't accept a substitute, so I brought out the red dot... and lo, this time she has figured out that I make it come and go, and when I put the little gadget down it won't come back! She's also considerably less frenetic while she plays, though still quite intense.
Kid: Laura is enjoying her current part time job, and working hard on her art. Besides art quilting, she's started doing fabric collage on natural slate and then painting-- gorgeous stuff! It looks like she'll be renting a small studio soon.
You may remember Laura has Stiff Person Syndome, and was diagnosed long before we all learned that Celine Dion has the same thing. There is now a documentary called I Am Celine Dion that may be of interest if you are curious. I hasten to add that Laura has never had an episode as bad as the one that happens in that show, though we've been close.
