Hukkle update

Posted by Dano (aka dano) Jul 9 '20, 09:41

This morning Hukkle was in his little cat condo which is his safe place. I lured him out with some wet food which he gulped down. Then he was very kitten like, tearing around and playing with toys. I let Bob and Jinx in. They both were mostly into eating the dry kitten food. They prefer that to their adult food. Bob and Hukkle got along right away. Their interaction was playful. They would “fight” but there was no hissing and Bob would even flop on his back. Jinx is more aggressive but not proactively. She doesn’t go after Hukkle, but if he comes up to her, she hisses and bats at him. He backs off, so they’re just establishing hierarchy. Hukkle isn’t so sure about me yet. He won’t come to me but if I pick him up, he’ll let me hold him for a little while before squirming away.

Nice update and I'm glad Bob is so cool with him. -- nm - Marquis de Krusty Jul 9, 09:48
Suggestion: slowly present your hand to his nose. He'll gradually accept that your scent is part of his safe space. -- nm - David Jul 9, 09:47 8

- Yeah. I'm not concerned. He's not been here for 24 hours yet. I also make absolutely sure that he sees that I'm the one feeding him. - Dano Jul 9, 09:49 6
  - I would always "manhandle" them a bit as kittens so they're used to me picking them up. - Reagen Jul 9, 09:58
  - Do cats not need litterbox training? How do they know? -- nm - Max Jul 9, 09:57 2
    - They have a burying instinct, but they can learn it "wrong" if they're taken too young. -- nm - Reagen Jul 9, 09:59

    - Heh. :-) -- nm - Marquis de Krusty Jul 9, 09:53
Nice photo. "Who are you? Who are you? Who are you? Who is this kid, what's he gonna do?" -- nm - Maracello Jul 9, 09:46
You need to assume a submissive posture when he approaches you. - Spawn Jul 9, 09:44 1
- Remember, if they were bigger, they'd eat you. -- nm - Mop Jul 9, 09:48
