My apologies to Missy. I can only speak from experience. :)) By the way, I know what a grey tabby is but what does a blue tabby look like? You can imagine the shades of blue I am thinking of.
Here are all the tabby colors: A "brown tabby" has black stripes on a brownish or grayish ground color. The black stripes may be coal black, or a little bit brownish. A "blue tabby" has gray stripes on a grayish or buff ground color. The gray stripes may be a dark slate gray, or a lighter blue-gray. A "red tabby" has orange stripes on a cream ground color. The orange stripes may be dark reddish orange, or light "marmalade" orange. A "cream tabby" has cream stripes on a pale cream ground color. These stripes look sand-colored or peach-colored rather than orange. A "silver tabby" has black stripes on a white ground color. The roots of the hairs are white. You can also have a blue silver, cream silver, or red silver tabby (red silver is also known as "cameo tabby") depending on the color of the stripes. In all cases, silver tabbies have a pale ground color and white roots. To make sure, part the hairs and look at the roots.

Here is a picture of a blue tabby http://www.nevas-berlin.de/Bilder/Wuerfe/N-Musikanten/Nacho/nacho-5w-1.jpg Of course, Missy is the most beautiful blue tabby in all the world:)
Have you tried the Feliway spray in her nesting area? It will make her feel safer. I used bottles of the stuff with the Royal Princess Kitty Katt.
Right now I honestly cannot afford it. Hopefully next payday. -- Rescuties - Saving the world, one cat at a time. http://www.rescuties.org Vist the Rescuties store and save a kitty life! http://astore.amazon.com/rescuties-20
