The Kitten and the Papa Cat
Well we have only had our kitten Smoochie for about 5 weeks now and watching the developing relationship between he and our 6 yo cat Jordan has been quite interesting and almost always entertaining.
From the first 5 days after we first brought Smoochie home.. all 1 3/4 lbs of him we feared Jordan might do him harm since he has been king of the house for so long. The first 5 days we kept them separated and gave them each their own space to get use to the change. Any time they spent together was supervised for Smoochie's safety since Jordan is about a 20 lb cat.
Well we got thru that and then allowed longer and longer periods of time when they could get use to each other. Soon the little one, Smoochie, wanted to play and so began the process of them becoming friends. After the friend stage we noticed Jordan leaving some of his food for him which use to be the highlight of his day. Then we noticed Jordan started to hold him down and bathe him. Smoochie puts up a feeble attempt to stop him and they usually end up playing. The latest thing we've noticed is Smoochie trying to bathe Jordan, lol, and that is just precious.
Well until next time.. grateful for the fun-filled time with the kitty and his adopted Papa.. smile.
