Thread: How to integrate a second kitten

Wicca’s behavior toward Freyja is so much like Minnie’s toward Monty. She tries to steal his food and he gets intimidated. So I do what you do – I place myself between her and him so that he can eat in peace. He clearly appreciates it… and what’s more, Minnie gets the message (she’s a clever little thing she is). Gradually, she’s becoming less of a tealeaf.

Funny thing happened the other night. I had bought a tin of sardines in water. First, I drained the tin and poured the water onto a plate for the Coonies. When they’d lapped it up, I took a fork and put some chunks of sardine on the plate. They gobbled it up. Then I tasted a chunk of sardine… mmmm, tasted good! Gave some more to the furries. Ate some more myself. Then I heard giggling. I looked up and saw a couple of teenagers peering through our kitchen window at the crazy old cat lady sitting cross-legged on the floor sharing food out of a tin with her cats.
