Josie was snapped to attention when he called out to her. Kittens? Since Jacen and she were never allowed to have pets she always took any chance she could get to cuddle with little animals. When Jacen's little friend Emily left her little puppy with Jacen, Josie couldn't resist cuddling with the little bundle for a bit.
But no, kittens were in danger. Without really thinking she used her own power to collect all the kittens and move them back to where she was originally standing.
