This Kitten's Got Claws

So the assimilation of Kodos into the new home is not going well. There have been a few kitty incidents between Kodos and max, including some claw on fur action. Sad but true. I think things are getting better but there’s no way to be sure. The worst part is, when I leave Kodos sequestered in my room for hours at a time he literally rips up the carpet behind my door. I tried putting some tape down but I’m not sure it’s working. Any ideas? I’m pretty sure you can get that hard plastic that you nail or staple into the carpet for these sorts of things, but I’m not sure where you would go to look for that sort of thing. Suggestions? Help me, blogophiles, you’re my only hope.

  1. Hi, Toren.

    Do you leave a radio on (tuned to a talk show station) to keep Kodos company when you lock him in your room?

    Try the bubble wrap instead of plastic, that’s helped me in the past.

    The cats will learn to accept each other…it just may take longer than you had planned.

    And cats from the same litter who were raised together and lived together their whole lives (I’ve had a brother/sister duo, and a sister/sister duo) still fight every now and then.

    They get bored I think!

    🙂

    Best wishes on the kitten/cat front.

  2. You might try those clear plastic matts used for office chairs from leaving dents in rugs. When my daughter was a baby I used to put on under her highchair so we wouldn’t have to mop the floor (of course the dogs got most of the food she dropped/threw). Try a used office furniture store.

  3. My vote is for leaving him out and let the cats sort it out. They won’t kill each other, just scrap until they get their social order figured out.

    I dunno – Kodos has always been a bit twitchy and he’s usually carrying that damned .38 on him. It could go bad, real quick.

  5. Stewie has a point. Confiscate all his firearms (except a derringer for varmints and such) and let the cats sort out their differences the feline way.
