My household is completely upset by this small tortoiseshell and white kitten who has the impertinence to harass me.
When she first arrived, it wasn't too bad. She was kept in quarantine with an infection so I just lost one room of my territory. Then she expanded her territory into a second room. As the weather has been fine that wasn't too bad either. I spent a lot of time out.
But the other day I slipped in after my human just to check out the possibilities of a second meal (found a few fragments as you can see). At first she just sniffed me then she started biffing me. She ran up and down the room landing small kitten punches as she passed.
It was very upsetting. I had to get the human to let me out. Me who is five times her size had to retreat. How can I get rid of her? She is a rescue foster kitten, but it is me who needs rescuing.
Yours,
Toby, Disgusted of Ringwood.
Dear Toby,
You have a problem and that problem is not the kitten, but your pet human. If she is moving into rescuing kittens, your home won't be your own again. Humans with a pathological rescue tendency fill the home with rescued cats. Sometime, when this human psychological condition gets too overwhelming, the place becomes a death trap - scores of cats, disease, and not enough litter trays.
Act now and act firmly. I suggest you spray along the door which opens into the kittens room. This should get a message to your human that you do not want the intruder in your life. If you do get into the room, do not let food distract you, biff back. You should be able to fight off a kitten without using your claws. Use your weight instead.
If you are lucky, this will be a temporary aberration and the kitten will shortly disappear to a new home. Cross your paws, Toby. And pray to that Higher Feline that looks after the welfare of cats.
Yours with sympathy,
George.

We disagree with you George on this occasion. A human who is keen on and proficient at rescuing is a blessing to cats. Not all rescuers are hoarders, and if it wasn't for our ape rescuing us, we'd be dead.
ReplyDeleteSo Toby, man up, be the bigger cat, endure the kitten biffs (and the extra morsels of food) - you'd better get used to it. Your human did a good thing helping little Sweetiepops, she did a good thing rescuing you too. Just remember your roots.

Now Toby play nicely... It am just a little gurl kitty.

Toby, you'll get used to the new kitten. The problem is your human and not for rescuing cats - generally speaking! I have my own ideas about your human (as I have about mine too) - maybe we'll share one day!
ReplyDeleteBe brave but kind :-)

Yes! It is good to rescue cats but I really don't like sharing all my stuff!
