Jealousy in a Multiple Pet Family

Usually, I put him in his favorite spot on my bed, shake my finger at him and tell him to be a good boy. He gets pats and usually a kiss on the head. I'm more tolerant with his jealousy because I'm the only Mom he can remember. His cat mom deserted him when he was about 10 days old. He only had one eye partily open. I had to bottle feed him. We have a stronger bond because of that. The others were all at least 3 months old or more when they came to live with us. After depositing him, I go back and pet and comfort the one he was picking on. I don't want any of my fur babies to think for a second they aren't wanted here, no matter what Leonardo tries to make them think.
