All Hail The Queen!
In mid-January, Sam and Emma had been out in the house for a couple of weeks. They were playing in the living room when they suddenly stopped and their eyes went wide. I looked over and Scout had walked into the room and came over to sniff out the new kittens. At this point, Scout was warming up to Sam but was still unsure about Emma, so her blessing them with her presence was a big step forward.
I initially thought Emma would try to be the alpha of the group, and that Scout would probably let her. They all get along well now, but it’s also clear that Scout is the one who has firmly established herself as queen.
