I'm back again, no real update regarding the introductions we are still working on getting closer to the door during mealtimes. I'm having a separate issue though, I recently started introducing canned food into their diet, wet in the morning dry in the afternoon. Leafy is perfectly fine with this, she loves wet food, but Summer is really giving me a hard time. The first week she was all for it but then this week she just doesn't want it anymore, she wants dry. I did figure out she doesn't like cold wet food, so I only gave her fresh then I figured out she doesn't like the fish flavor, which is fine because I had two other flavors she had liked. Now she won't touch any of it, and she's being aggressive about it. The past two days she has drawn blood on both my feet because she wants dry food. The second I stand up and start walking she is under my feet swatting. I'll admit I snapped this morning and smacked her on the butt after she scratched me again when I was trying to clean off the blood from the prior hit. She was back at it just moments later. I'm so fed up, everytime I meet resistance with her regarding anything she resorts to attacking me. I wanted her to have a healthier diet but I may just have to leave her on dry for the rest of her life. But now I'm questioning whether we just aren't a good match and I should give up. She's a young cat, she has plenty of years left and I can't help but think, what's going to happen when I have kids? We won't tolerate her swatting and scratching our kids over every little thing. I don't know what to do.
