My littlest one, Sophie, who is now 3 1/2 months old has a very bad food aggression issue. I found her abondoned and starving when she was a week old. Although that is the normal for them all, every cat here was found abandoned and starving but she's the only one who acts like this.
She wont let the other cats eat until she is done and growls and swipes to keep them at bay. And she will litterally tear your fingers off trying to get whatever you are eating. The other day, she took an orange slice from me and started to eat it. And cooking with her underfooot is an experience all it's own and shutting her away in a different room while we eat doesn't work because she rips tears at the wood doors.
I have an open food pan of dry kibble available 24/7 for them all, and I usually open about 8 cans of food a day inwhich she eats proably 3 by herself. She was just spayed last week and I had to vet give her a complete check-up which was completely normal and parasite free.....so she has no need to be so aggressive in this way.
I'm hoping she outgrows it pretty soon though. But she's so darn cute I'm just going to have to put up with it I guess, lol!
Here she is a couple of days after her eyes opened
and at the food bowl with Herky
about a month old here
and climbing the screens the other day.....she's healing from her spay very well I'd say, lol
