Subject: RE: BS: New Kitten Advice
Clinton; Been there still doing it and didn't even get a lousy tee- shirt. OK, now that I'm done being a smat ass let's get down to incidentals. 1) listen to the above it's good advice. 2) If you haven't yet, invest in a water pistol beacuse the little darling will get into all kinds of trouble. 3)Remember that cats are not social creatures. (Lions are the exception) They will need time to acclimate to each other. 4) Get a female. Our latest is male and the two older ones are female. They will acclimate quicker with the same sex. Don't know why but it's so. 5) It's easier if you get a kitten. The older they are the harder it is for them to adjust. 6) Cats own everything or think they do. There will be fights and hissing. We've had our oldest cat nine years and the second oldest five and they still argue about who "Owns" the sleepy hollow chair. Welcome to feline follies. Kindest regards, Neil
