The posts, which were quickly removed, described what Ramona was doing:
“Ramona is given new toy: Smiles, examines for 20 seconds, discards.”
“Ramona gets a hug: Acquiesces momentarily, squirms to be put down.”
“Ramona sees three cats 30 feet away: Immediately possessed by shrieking, spasmodic joy that continues after cats flee for their lives.”

And readers responded to Ramona, asking for regular updates from the girl’s family.
