Everyone is friends now! The kitten, Pepper, absolutely rules the roost. When food is put down for the cats, Tigger will wait while Pepper eats. I have come across the cats sleeping and grooming together. I have also come across the kitten sitting in the dogs' bed with them and wrestling with them. He loves to attack their tails.
Bill will feed the kitten anything off his plate! When the kitten got sick and puked, Bill grumbled about having to clean it up. I just smiled at him and thanked him for doing it. I didn't really feel the need to point out that the kitten was probably puking up whatever funky people food he ate off of Bill's plate.
Yesterday, Bill was finishing off a plate of beans, cheese, and salsa. I should note that Bill likes his salsa ON FIRE! as it were. That hot salsa was a bit too much for the kitty, but Pepper was VERY interested in Bill's egg nog. So...Bill poured some egg nog onto the left over salsa on his empty plate and put it down for Pepper. After a moment's hesitation, Pepper licked the plate clean!
Then, I sat down to eat with my plate of food.
(I should note that we don't currently have a dining room table due to the remodel, so we eat on the couches in the living room.)
Pepper came over eagerly to find out what I was having and to share it with me. Now, I DO NOT share my food with animals! I hissed at Pepper and he backed off at once. Will thought that was the most funny thing. It seemed to work, though. Terrible that I have to remind a little snip of a thing who's boss in this house. He thinks we are all there to entertain him.
