Luna is not on good terms with Lily today!
Every morning, she's coming into my bed, lays down on my chest and wants to be cuddled, but this is something Lily cannot stand. I don't know if she's jeaulous of me or of Luna, but she would often complain and makes these little rrrr-sounds (you know, what cats do when they want another cat's attention). Well, and sometimes, she would even jump Luna from behind while she is kneading my tummy, and of course, Luna gets very annoyed about this and walks away.
This morning, is was especially bad since Lily disturbed her several times when she wanted to cuddle with meowmie. She eventually got really grumpy, even with me, and I could see how much she was hurt. Later, when she found Lily on their favorite cushion in the living room, she did not want to share it with her as usual, but she started a wrestling match instead and must have been very serious about it since Lily squeaked a couple of times and then went away. So far, they did not share their cushion today.
So what can I do? Does Lily feel rejected by me? After all, she's not such a lap kitty and doesn't like to cuddle (at least not with me, she prefers snuggling with Luna), but Luna needs her "meowmie moments" so bad and there's no way I want to reject her!
I've just been out for a walk and when I came back and sat down, Lily came to me and made the "quivering tail thing", that's the way she's asking for treats. Before I could give her a treat, Luna showed up and came into my lap. This time, Lily did not interfere but she walked away and stared out of the window, and you could see in her little face that she was hurt. I cuddled Luna for a while, and then I asked them if they would like a treat. They both know this word very well and responded immediately. I hope that they both were happy with that.
But it's so hard!! Do I do something wrong?
