Shabbat Breakfast
9Jun18
Still, after reapplying that flea/tick stuff GG has been acting weird -- come in feed, get petted and leave. He had been coming in late evening and staying until 2 or 3am. No more of that. He's out all night long. If he's in and Fluff is in, he forces her out. Like yesterday, Fluffy was in and GG was out. Fluff is still nervous even without GG around and won't settle down and relax, so after meow-meow-meowing in her squeaky little voice; David let her out. GG was at the door. Fluffy saw him, froze and backed away. I picked her up so she could get past the dreaded GG and a kitty war was avoided.
Usually if GG is out all night, he's ready to come in around 5am. This morning he didn't come in until I let him in around 7am. Fluffy followed and I fed her in the hall. Then I saw that Patch had followed too, so I gave him some food on the lower level because he won't eat so close to Fluffy.
I needed to go down and feed whoever else might be there. Got the cheap cat food and went down. Fluffy and Patch left their uneaten food to follow me. Fine. The only other one about was Mask. No new guy, no Loper, no Bag. I tried to convince them to eat by the entrance but no, they had to go around the corner and get their food there. I was trying to get their individual portions in various spots and as usual Fluffy had her nose in everything. I had just put down some food for Mask when she looked up and froze. There was Grey Scrap.
Grey Scrap is a bully and a large cat even bigger than our 13lb GG. Scrap was basically saying this food is mine. I threw Scrap a handful of food and convinced the others to eat further away. I gave them each a portion except for Fluffy. Fluffy was glaring at Scrap getting ready to attack, the same Fluffy that backs down for GG. I don't get it. I went over and picked up Fluffy to prevent her from doing something stupid. They all had their food and they all followed me upstairs. Fluffy stopped and ate Patch's food on the level below ours. I went on up and have no idea if Patch and Mask ever ate their breakfast.

GG doesn’t seem to like all the special attention he has received, the deworming medication, going to the Vet, flea powder! I think back to joey and chica in the early days they fought as well, but now she has turned into a mean old women! She growls and hisses at the sight of joey. Hopefully one day I can share your kitty morning adventures !
