Of Cats and Kittens (by sarah)
We have been carrying one kitten with us when we go and feed Babaras cats to try and get everybody used to the new situation. However last night Tim followed me into the Bakery, so I went and got a kitten to see how he would react to them - it was H the less agressive of the two. To mine and Als suprise TIm stood there looking a bit worried and as soon as I put H on the ground, the kitten started hissing and yoewling, back arched, fur raised.
We thought that it would be predent if H won the face off as it is the kittens territory, but we didnt have to intervine - Tim was petrafied of the kitten and as soon as we opened the door he was off like a shot.
Then Betsy, the black shy cat kept coming over and sticking her paw through our letter box - rattling it toget our attention. She kept doing this until we let her into the Mill via the door - she has arthritise and we think she was having problems climbing in the window to get her food.
Tim and Batsy also appeared to be missing Barabara - who they seemed to think we were hiding in the Bakery - this myth was dispelled earlier with heer return from holiday - the endless watering is now at an end 🙂
The kittens house training has dramatically improoved with a) a box over the litter tray to make it resemble the covered one they were used to. b) treats and rewards, plus being taken to the litter tray. c) Cleaning the litter tray out three times a day and d) feeding them specific cat milk so they dont have the squitz anymore!

Yeah, you can't feed cats cow's milk regularly, just as a treat. Funny no-one told us that til Luki had her problems.
