Yet another Update on the "Rubble" kits
Betty & Bam-Bam will eat dry, but Barney screams for canned! At first, when
I mixed them, Barney spit out the dry kibble . But now, he does eat it... but still prefers the canned. As is their duty, being hoolikittens, they get into, under, over and around anything possible. Betty gets *behind* the dresser, and goes all the way from one end to the other, and then pops out - while her brothers are still looking for her at the other end! Today, as an experiment, I opened the bedroom door, but put one of the doggie gates up, flush with the floor, and sat back and watched. All three rubbles lined up at the gate, looking out.... Smokey approached from the other side, sniffing "what are these little things?"... Then Tennessee & Ping came up as well. Lizzie watched from the comfort of a pile of blankets on the recliner. Three kittens sniffing three adults.... Then an adult hissed! I think it was Tennessee - but I don't think he was hissing at a kitten, I think he was hissing at Ping (he got too close). All three kittens puffed up - and Betty ran under the bed while Barney and Bam-Bam looked to me for guidance/help. I gathered them up and comforted them. I left the door open while I gathered up laundry, then about 15 minutes later, Bam-Bam & Barney were back at the gate - but they were all puffed and looking *in*. Ping and Tennessee had jumped the gate... Tennessee's interest was the window seat, but Ping was following the kittens! That spooked them. I'm sure Ping means no harm - after all, he's a clown - he just wants to play. -- Help the animals of Monroe County http://www.justgiving.com/pfp/nalee1964 The ONE and ONLY lefthanded-pathetic-paranoid-psychotic-sarcastic-wiseass-ditzy former-blonde in Bloomington!

But now, he does eat it... but still prefers the canned. Why not feed them canned? Canned smells. Then you have all these empty cans to dispose of, and our county *charges* (in addition to taking our tax money) for pickup - and yes, we do recycle, but sometimes it gets unmanageable! Plus, all our other cats are on dry - which they prefer (it's their choice) - but they do get some canned for a treat occasionally Man, I've worked hard to get Oscar to eat canned after growing up on dry!

Ping following kittens! But in my mind, he still is a kitten. Weeble too. I hope they become good friends. |
