He arrived last weekend (from cat rescue aged 12 weeks) and Mom is trying to settle him in with me. I am 8 months old and a bit of a spoilt only boy until now.<BR/><BR/>I've been a bit hissy and growly - and because I am so much bigger and stronger than Alfie, Mom is nervous about leaving us unattended. <BR/><BR/>She introduced us behind a glass door (one either side) and I was very hissy & growly!<BR/>Then gradually over the weekend she fed us at the same time (one each side of the door) and now I am comforable near my little brother. BUT Mom closely supervises and I show interest and sniff - and then give a hefty swipe. My claws are usually in ... but sometimes I forget myself.<BR/><BR/>Mom is scared that if she puts Alfie down that I might attack and hurt Alfie. I don't mean to be like this ... I can't help myself.<BR/><BR/>Mom is giving me lots of reassurance but she wonders if you could advise further. Is there anyhting else she should be doing, or not doing? Thank you.<BR/><BR/>Love Milo =^..^=<BR/><BR/>My bloggies is here: http://milocat.wordpress.com/Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34610954.post-40345177980524315702008-11-21T08:43:00.000+00:002008-11-21T08:43:00.000+00:00Dear George,Although I don't like the way your fel...Dear George,<BR/>Although I don't like the way your feline friends eat other furry people I have to agree with them about not being given the things they really enjoy, like mice. My humans never give me enough of my favourite things. I know they buy huge bananas for instance, then give me a measly little slice. The same with carrots and parsley. Why can't I have more? You know how good I am at getting my own way around the house but it doesn't seem to work with bananas and carrots.<BR/>Love to William and to you.<BR/>HarveyI am Harvey.https://www.blogger.com/profile/09617070698269954163noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34610954.post-77769893464974262962008-11-20T03:34:00.000+00:002008-11-20T03:34:00.000+00:00Hi there,I don't know why my sister Cayenne gets c...Hi there,<BR/>I don't know why my sister Cayenne gets carried away so easily when it comes to food, but let me just add few things. She is "the eater" between the two of us and the truth is that she is a little chubby (I know she'll be upset if she'll read this). But, we are not diabetics (that dr. with the forum had a diabetic cat); we are two healthy and beautiful girls.<BR/>Cayenne likes dry food very, very much, but I am a fussy eater. I torture my humans with my moods. The only thing I really liked was some treats mommy brought us from London, UK few years ago. I really think you guys have better food over there. George mentioned something about dried mice! Hm! Are they tasty? How can I make my humans buy me some? Any ideas?<BR/>What do you think about raw meat?<BR/>Love<BR/>Fluffy<BR/><BR/>PS. I'm so happy for Zealand. Hurray!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34610954.post-88537690989415568392008-11-20T03:20:00.000+00:002008-11-20T03:20:00.000+00:00Wow!

What an informative message!<BR/>We were on both dry and soft food until our humans attended a "cat food forum" with a doctor from States (www.yourdiabeticcat.com)<BR/>I remember they came home late that night and ...out dry food was gone for ever! We are now only on soft food (ultra, premium, holistic, organic, etc), but I still miss our dry food :-)<BR/>Mommy gives us some treats for teeth health from Wysong but this is way too little. I heard her saying that she's going to cook for us but I don't want any cooked food. I've seen her reading recipes from a book by Dr. Pitcairn. She cooks us fish once in a while; I love that.<BR/>What do you think? Should we accept cooked food or better canned?<BR/>Hugs<BR/>Cayenne<BR/><BR/>PS. What a joy to hear that Zealand found a good house.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34610954.post-8819834467214491862008-11-16T12:45:00.000+00:002008-11-16T12:45:00.000+00:00George, thank you for such a detailed answer. This...George, thank you for such a detailed answer. This was really interesting and I have learned a lot. I didn't know that pica was caused by humans changing our predation sequence, it's wonderful that something so simple as feeding poults stops it. Dried mice sound very good, I must badger my apes into a purchase, as mice and my favourite, moles, are a bit scarce in winter.<BR/><BR/>I am so happy that Zealand has found an excellent home and is no longer an unhappy, bitey cat. This is very good news.<BR/><BR/>George, the world of cats needs you. Keep on doing what you do so well!<BR/><BR/>Whicky WuudlerEverycathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15356564928470972448noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34610954.post-3334006682694273862008-11-15T22:18:00.000+00:002008-11-15T22:18:00.000+00:00My human really tries hard to feed me right.

I do love the mice, but I've managed to thin the mice population, so I have resorted to chipmunks, I have an endless supply and they live right at MY back door.<BR/><BR/>Sorry I've missed a couple of your posts lately. My humans have been preoccupied for the past several weeks putting up a fence. I don't like the looks of the thing, because it appears it will restrict my movement. I overheard them talking it was for my protection to keep me away from the fourlane road.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
