She is back to her usual sweetly crazy behavior.  The one thing different is she seems to be more vocal now.  I saw her ankle-mug Sheba several times yesterday, so she may be attempting to re-take the alpha position in the group.

I always thought ankle mugging was just rough playing, not dominance. When Wilbur wanted to play with Patricia, he tapped her leg while he followed her.

It is a form of playing, but she will grab, sit back and gauge the response, then if the response is neutral, wait and do it again later.  Remember with only the one eye, she goes by sense of hearing more on that side.   There is nothing wrong with her depth perception, though.  This morning I saw Sugar sniffing at her, like she does before she attacks Spice, and Silly caught her right between the ears at full arm extension with that lightning left of hers

 And when I say ankle-mug I mean the full grab with both front paws.
