Now about those kittens in the small laundry....I can tell happy tidings...sort of....
The owners are back and the kittens and mummy cat are in terrific conditions. Kitty litter provided, food provided, space provided, water provided....all is good.....I even have a little female one...6 weeks old....I know, not 12 weeks but they were giving them away then and there and didn't want to tell them what to do and offend them...they're soooooo much better than the cat sitter....
Now...here's the tricky bit....Russell does not like his new sister at all. He hissed and growled and tried to swipe her one.....no harm done. Basically territorial aggression here....
I have no idea what to do and am trying the towel trick and separate rooms for feeding.....I'm punishing Russell for bad behaviour still but I don't know whether that's the right thing to do either.
She's inquisitive of him and would adjust to another cat well but Russell's just a grumpy bum who's not happy after realising that the place isn't his.
We're still deciding on a name for the little one, but that's not urgent at the moment, sorting out an arrangement is.
