Her head is particularly small, which might explain why she is such a ditz. Her face still looks very kittenish too.<\/div>\n<div> <\/div>\n<p>I was a bit worried that Saba was bullying Google at feeding time, but I&#8217;ve watched them eat together and there doesn&#8217;t seem to be any overt competition for food.

Google is still the more mischievous of the two, but Saba is dominant in terms of taking the favoured spots on the top of the scratching post and on the back of the sofa. Maybe it&#8217;s just because she&#8217;s bigger now. They seem to take it in turns chasing and wrestling each other, although Google instigates a little more often and usually gets her ass kicked. Having said that, I have seen Google deliberately push Saba off the sofa, <em>and<\/em> off a windowsill, so she&#8217;s no doormat! They spend a lot of time cuddling and licking each others&#8217; ears too.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div> <\/div>\n<div>We&#8217;ve been letting them outside recently, under supervision (we&#8217;re worried about the main road and local wildlife, i.e. raccoons, coyotes and skunks).
