Food Aggression!!!!

[aerring]

My kitten does this too. She's around 7 months old and growls while she eats whenever any of the cats come near her. She does this with her toys too. Whenever she's playing with a cat toy she drags it away like a kill and growls whenever anyone comes near her.

Herky looks just like my best cat friend, Fluffy! Anyway, you could feed all of your cats separately so they all get to eat, then put up their food. Food aggression is very common in cats, as I have had the same problem. My cat Sweetie was like that with her mother and siblings when she was a kitten, though she did grow out of it a while later.
