Silly Pickles!
I don't understand Pickles at all. When Waffles was alive, he had to
have a small amount of canned food every day. Pickles wouldn't have anything to do with it. Since Waffles went to the Bridge and Koala moved in, Pickles has changed. Koala also wants canned food, and gets very vocal about it. Sometimes when I give it to him, Pickles won't even come into the kitchen. However, the past few days she has come in and acted as though she wanted some. I put a very small amount into a dish and give it to her. Sometimes she won't even go near the dish. Usually she looks at it, then walks away. That's what she's done the past couple of days. However, she has now added something new. She waits until Koala is almost finished with his dish of food. Then she shoulders him away and avidly licks the bowl clean. He walks over and eats the tiny bit of food in the dish I put down for Pickles. -- Joy Unlimited Colorful Crocheted Critters Photos at http://www.PictureTrail.com/joy9 |

Pickles does not want you to give Koala anything more than she is getting (even though she might not want it herself) Koala retaliates by doing similar. It's a subtle way of being abusive to each other without fighting and I wouldn't allow it. I suggest you feed them in separate rooms for now or I can see Pickles exploding about "I always get the best food from my meowmie, not you" It doesn't matter whether she seems to want it, (she does) She's jealous because she's lost her brother and doesn;t want to share your love with a new cat. I once thought that as Kitty Farmcat & Boyfie got on so well, that when I lost her, it might be a good idea if I got another to keep him company. He's made it clear that the answer is "over my dead body" He never used to fight when she was here but now he's up for it if he sees a cat in the garden. He prefers staring and sometimes that works. If that doesn;t work after 2 hours. he approaches and says "what part of the go away stare don't you understand?" and if they still don't get the idea, he gives them his sing song (which is a threat, but if you go away now we won't have a fight") It usually works and it rarely comes to a fight. Unless a cat comes into the house and then it's it's an immediate fight. KFC was the same, "a cat comes into my house? well, bad idea that cat" She was very tiny but no cat near here would even dare be in the garden and when one began bullying Boyfie (her apprentice at the time) she took a very dim view.of that. She was very aware of Boyfie being bullied in the garden but she was trying to get him to get him to stick up for himself and not rely on her all the time.. She was retired, lying by the fire. Until that bullying cat came into the house after Boyfie. Well, that cat had not seen her before and then he wished he hadn't ;-) She rose from the fire, chased him up the walls and then attached herself to his back. He was twice her size, but that never mattered to her. Although it might have been more about "do not come into my house and disturb my sleep or you are well dead" ;-) |

They squabble a little now and then, but for the most part they get off fine. I often find them lying just a few inches from each other, and occasionally they're cuddled together.
