Hey everyone,
Long time no post. I've been a member for a while but for the last month I haven't really posted for several reasons; family stuff, got busy, but the main reason is what now has lead to my problem I'm asking your advice about. Last month tomorrow, our neighbor returned from the store to find that someone had dumped a little of kittens in her car while she was gone shopping. She called my mother and I over and I fell in love with the little orange runt. I could only guess the age of course but I guessed they were around 3-4 weeks old, their eyes and ears were open but they didn't really walk around too much. It was so small I was afraid to let my older cat (6months old on the 25th) around her so I spent the first few weeks with her all the time and trying to help her learn all the stuff she would need to know when she got older. Okay, the problem you ask? Well I know there are a few other topics elsewhere about this, but I would feel more comfortable if I posted my own topic.
Problem one : The kitten was using the litterbox really well and just stopped the last day or two and has been pooping around my room. It probably would be considered an easy problem but I tried putting her in the litterbox and she just ran and went in a corner. So I read on a recent post here to put them in the bathroom etc, so that's where she is right now, and I'm hoping to correct it. (pooping on carpet isn't too friendly to the nose and isn't my idea of artwork :wink: )
Problem two: You might have guessed this one already. Kali (the almost 6 month old kitty) doesn't get along with Tevy (the kitten I figure is probably around 7-8 weeks now) It *might* be playing but if it is Kali is pretty rough, or so it seems. If I let Tevy out to roam the house Kali will chase her and tackle her and begin to flip her around and bite her and such. Tevy sort of does it back and most of the time Tevy doesn't seem hurt or anything, sometimes she'll make a noise or a little hiss or something and run away, but Kali doesn't leave her alone.
I was wondering if anyone has/had similar trouble and maybe if there are ways I can help them possibly feel more comfortable with eachother. I notice if I pre-occupy Tevy with a toy Kali will seem to leave her alone a little more.
That's about all without going into too much detail, thanks for listening and any advice would be greatly appreciated.
