Stinky and the Kitten- Day 3
The kitten is imperturbable. He bounces around until he's exhausted, then he drops. He sleeps in vastly entertaining positions, stretching his tiny body into pretzel-like contortions. He loves to have a blanket dropped on him so he can fight his way out. Last night, my entire body constituted a huge bed mouse Stinky is loosening up, little by little, although he is still hostile to the kit. He came downstairs to eat last night, and again this morning, still walking in a bit of a slink. He hisses at the kitten, but thankfully, he's not holding a grudge against me. I load him up with treats and skritches, and make sure to speand plenty of time alone with him. The funniest thing is that the kitten has not been fazed by a single thing since he got here, including Stinky's reaction to him. The kit's reaction to Stinky seems to be something on the order of "Wow!" Instead of making him run and hide, Stinky's appearance seems to fascinate him, and when Stinky comes through, he happily follows him at a safe distance. Last night, the kit came almost right up to Stinky, and just sat down about two feet away from him. They sat like that, meatloafed, facing each other, for a few minutes without incident. Then the baby, as usual, got up and zipped off in a blur of feet and tail, Stinky looking after with his best "WTF was that!!!? look on his face.

Sounds like Stinky will come round if he's already sitting near to the
kitten. When we got Fudge and Caramel as kittens we already had George (MIA - assumed RB) our 3 year old rescue. He disliked the kittens at first and would hiss and ignore them. However, Fudge in particular didn't take any notice. When he was asleep she invariably go and curl up next to him, so when he awoke he would look round, see a kitten leaning against him and would leap up with an urrghh look on his face. Fudge as a kitten wasn't all that good at washing herself and would end up soaking. So, George took it upon himself to clean her properly and would pin her down and wash her thoroughly. We knew he'd accepted them fully when the kittens were in the back garden. Next door's cat came over the fence and pounced at them, and was knocked out of the air by a fast flying George protecting them. Kate.

Well, this sounds REALLY satisfactory. Can't wait until we get REAL

Even if they're never the best of friends at least they will tollerate each other.

aw, they sound like a riot!
I hope the integration goes well and that they'll soon be curled up together during the winter getting warm.

Our "visiting" kitty was inside tonight several times, after being rather scarce for a few days. It has been hanging around for several hours now. It's become very sucky after being skittish up til now. I'm not too sure why the change, but it was DEMANDING tummy rubs and scritches tonight. It would start squeaking at me if I stopped paying attention to it. It wasn't such a hit with the girls though, it has a smack in the head first and ask questions later policy. Smokey's nose is out of joint, but she has been behaving herself. I'm pretty sure it's someone's cat though. It's in good shape and too tame to be a stray. Very attractive cat too, a Tiger striped Calico. Sort of a cross between a grey Tabby and a Calico.

When we got the bits, Smokey was terrified (of a non existant mother cat descending from on high and mauling him) and Nox hissed and hissed at more interlopers in her territory. The bits, 3 weeks, barely noticed the other cats. By 4 weeks of age they were fascinated by the other cats and being licked by Smokey. Apparently they convinced him that DP was their real, natural mom. By 5 weeks of age even Nox couldn't resist their baby luv any more. --Fil |
