Ok cute kitten. Grew, 9 lbs later; she throws her weight around on my 7 yr old cat. My older cat has weak bones. It was suggested I put her on medication if she ever acted in pain from age, due to the X-ray.
My kitten will walk up to my older cat, and want what she has. For example, I gave them cat nip smelling kickers. My older cat was sniffing the kittens kicker while she was kicking. They got into an argument.
I get my older cats kicker for her, the kitten walks up on her and they get verbal.
The kitten has always lived to play. She will stalk my older cat into playing tag or chase.
Sometimes the older cat has to tell the kitten I’m not playing and send a message.
The kitten grew up here. My older cat took her in like her own kitten.
Now the kitten is almost 1 year old.
They are both female and fixed.
I hope I didn’t create favorites.
I’ve been so busy with a new dog. I haven’t noticed a change in pecking order.
After the cat nip kicker situation I separated them in different rooms for a bit.
I don’t want them to hurt each other, or push each other around.
The kitten does do everything the older cat does.
Uses the same litter box after the older cat, disturbs her nap if she wants the spot. It’s been a lot of that, I’m the boss, I own that behavior.
I was just thinking, at least the cats have each other and are doing great.
How do I spread myself for each of them, so each pet feels unconditional love?
The kitten is a bit naughty. Counter surfer, begs when I eat, uses the dog door to possibly get lost or injured, knocks stuff off counter..etc.. ok
Maybe because of what I let
