As you can see, there is absolutely no visible sign of her injuries remaining.
Even better, there is little to no behavioral sign of what she went through. She is shy - most of our kitties are, probably because I'm such a hermit that people rarely come over - and sometimes flinches if Chris or I move too fast, but she never runs away. She faces up to whatever makes her nervous. Even more significantly (and surprisingly): she is SO nice with the other kitties! She always has a friendly sniff, and is happy to sleep on our bed with Elcy, Tito, and/or Boo (Garlic is too cool for school, and never sleeps up there). The ferrets make her nervous, but not fearful. She is a little more interested in Dolly than I like, but she has never gone after her - she just sits and stares till I clap my hands at her. Aside from her interactions with strangers and the other critters, she is very playful - especially for her estimated age of 5 - and physically affectionate. She hasn't been as much of a lap cat these past few weeks as she was when she first exited quarantine, but she sleeps at the foot of our bed daily, and seeks out attention from both me and Chris on the same level as the rest of the cats.
I am thrilled with how nice a fit she is with our family. Considering that we were very firm on our "4 cats" rule, I am pleased we broke it, and she has made it completely worth having done so.

Toaster is simply beautiful, don't tell Blossom I said that though!!!!
What a pretty cat! I'm glad to hear that she has adjusted so well.
Gorgeous kitty! And so cute. I had fun hanging out with you and your kitties (and Chris!) last night.
Thanks, guys! I heart her to bits and pieces.
What a beautiful kitty! You can always tell from their look when they are in a great home. They have this contented, relaxed appearance that says "I know I've got it made here!".
