One of our cats, Pooper, has moved her three kittens onto the neighbor's balcony because she didn't like the cat box. The kittens are now 3 weeks old and are starting to explore their surroundings. To prevent them from falling off the balcony and because I don't like the fact that the four of them are living under the neighbor's collected things, I thought I would take them to the feeding place. I scrubbed their box, washed the towel; everything was ready for the move.
There was a finely pureed extra meal of boiled fish and rice for all of them. I was hoping that full cats and kittens trying something other than mother's milk for the first time would be a good mix for a first date at the feeding place.
But things went a little differently than planned.
Flecki, the cat who adopted the two foundling kittens and who is also Pooper's sister, wanted to adopt the three kittens straight away. Meanwhile, Pooper continued to eat unimpressed and without any jealousy.
I removed the little ones from Flecki's tongue and placed them directly on the food. The two boys licked at it a little until they got a taste for it and tried to eat. The girl, however, stood in the middle of the tray, hissed like a big one, trembling with indignation and chased the other big cats away, with success! But then she didn't want to eat anything. She can become a real bitch if I'm not careful.
Off to the box
But they don't want to stay there. They grumbled about the cleanliness and the lack of litter. It was also far too soft for a home.
And the worst thing of all was this heel! It's so high! They check on one side, then on the other, but it was just far too high.
Their mother, Pooper, then relented after a loud complaint
Now they live under the garbage on the neighbor's balcony again.
