Hello. Its been about 2 years, when she got the new kitty. The older kitty gets attention sometimes, like a nice little pet or hug. The new kitty gets picked up more often becuase she likes being picked up and is very affectionate, she purrs alot. They just got new gerbils, so now those are the center of attention, and the cats are being shoved outside or in the basment while they take the gerbils out so the cats dont get them. I hope things work out between the two cats.
