Here is the item again:

Whenever one of her six cats jumps on the kitchen counter, (A) Lorna just sighs. (B) And reminds herself that everything tastes better (C) if there is a little cat hair in it.

You correctly realized that the period after sighs created a fragment. And reminds herself ... is a lonely verb phrase, so it cannot stand alone as a complete sentence.

To fix this fragment, you chose to do this:

Whenever one of her six cats jumps on the kitchen counter, Lorna just sighs and reminds herself that everything tastes better if there is a little cat hair in it.

You have correctly employed Punctuation Rule 8:

Main clause + Ø + lonely verb.

Keep us whistling!

Go to the next sentence.
