Re: 20 CATS...

[Dudes]

Nina, I thank you for your kind thoughts.  I do try to stay very in tune with my cats. To me, they convey so much of how they feel in their faces and body.  I could tell that Miss was quite angry about Cotton when he first came.  She started avoiding us, and I could just see the anger brewing in her eyes.  The look on her face was unmistakable to me.   I believe that you were very wise in dealing with Kimba's bad manners.  Will maybe have to try this when my Cricket chases Cotton and bullies him.  It has diminished quite a bit.  But on a positive note, I feel much closer to Cricket because I don't want to make her feel less loved by showing too much attention to Cotton in her presence.  I believe she knows how I feel about the other two cats, but she is uncertain about Cotton.  I've often wondered if she sensed that he was sick or different, and maybe that's why she is so affected by his presence.

Sandy, That's wonderful that you persevered and allowed the kitties to work things out in their own time.  How frustrating for you that must have been.
