| Re: Free kitten Update on kitten:
My father-in-law finally found out about the kitten and has no problem with us caring for him a while, but we really have to find him a forever home. Meanwhile, his stay here seems to be helping him build socialization skills relative to other animals. We did have the pleasant surprise of him being willing and even eager to use a litter box.
He's been out of the crate and about the house today, trying to figure out the others. The dog is the one that seems to worry/fascinate him the most... his previous experience with dogs was probably all negative, because he still seems surprised that Max hasn't even tried to go after him.
Tommy hisses at kitten, kitten hisses back, Tommy scampers away. A 25 lb cat running away from a kitten that weighs maybe 20 ounces is funny. I guess Tommy doesn't know how to deal with him. He's too used to being able to bully Patch.
Patch tends to either not pay much attention to the kitten, or will hiss back if kitten hisses aggressive/defensively. I think Patch doesn't mind the kitten being around except for that. Hell, he might even be wanting to play.
Angel wants nothing more than to be an only cat (Max is ok with her) so she is of course hostile to the others. The kitten seems to get a little more tolerance, especially when he's in the crate. Maybe his small size makes him less of a threat, I don't know.
Please, people, there has to be some way of finding him a home, he deserves better and we can't keep him; it's not Chris and my house so if the in-laws say no, it's no. |
