Several weeks ago I posted about kittens that will be needing
homes in Maryland. I have updated pictures of them. I failed to write that they are my sisters cat Amber's kittens. She was supposedly spayed, and on one of her escapes to the OUT, she ended up pregnant. They're 3 weeks old now. My sister is still intent on rehoming Amber because the problems between her and the senior cat are even worse now (DUH!) but even though I tell her when she's spayed and the kittens are homed Amber should settle down, she won't change her mind. Of course they are adorable. Lucky you, to be close enough to spend some time with them. Cheryl, maybe if you showed your sister a few of the many past threads about integrating new cats into a household that already has one or more resident rulers - the most recent one I recall was started by Kajikat Karen concerning Tessie - she would reconsider keeping Amber. It is almost never necessary to rehome a newcomer cat if the hoomin uses common sense and has enough patience. Proof is found in the many testimonials we've read right here in this group. She might listen to others' experiences even if she won't listen to you. |

She might listen to others' experiences even if she won't listen to you. Pat, I've tried. I even gave her the screen door that I made when Scarlett and Rhett were kittens right after her idiot husband brought Amber home, and I heard about how aggressive she was. She never used it to separate them. Tigger spends all his time behind the washer/dryer in the kitchen just so he's close to food and the litter box (which I had to insist she put there if he won't leave that area, less she have lots of accidents) without having to cross Amber. It's very sad. My sister just doesn't place pet integration at the top of her priority list. I can't change her mind, or help her understand that cats are people too. It's very frustrating. -- Cheryl |
