it is clear to me now there is no timetable on any cat behavior.. I inherited my son's young cat and had fallen in love with her. .Almost a dog like cat in that she came when called.. chose to be around all the time and would simply want to be around with no coaxing at all.. About 2 months ago i thought she might enjoy a companion and brought a kitten home, not knowing all this separating and feeding by the door business. After Jackson Galaxy pointed that out I have been at that since last Saturday.. I almost returned the kitten to the rescue group.. mainly because my original cat has really pulled away and it's really hard. I am trying with all my heart to pay extra attention to her and giving her many treats. it's so odd that I did NOTHING extra before for her to 'like' me.. She just did.. Any feedback on this would be very comforting.. After talking to the rescue group, they would gladly take the kitten back, but when i was there last Sat.. two of the kittens from that litter were still up for adoption after 6 weeks.. soooo.. Giving her back didn't seem right either.. i just miss how close my original cat and I were.. Any help or thoughts would be welcomed.. Thanks.. Cat newbie
