It's too bad that a boyfriend who is not even serious enought yet to be considered permanent is causing a permanent upheaval in little Kylie's life that may do more damage than a visitor she doesn't like.

Pepper hides every time Chuck comes over. In fact, she knows when he's coming and starts slinking around looking for a hiding place in mid afternoon! He's the only friend of mine or my son's that she hides from. Why? Who knows, but I know two things for certain - it is not a "warning" about Chuck (can anyone on this board imagine Chuck mistreating a cat) and I would not even dream about giving her away because she doesn't like one of my friends!

This little girl is going to need some extra tender loving care, because she will not know why this is happening to her.

The best thing to do as far as litter and food is to use what she's used to, to keep as many constants in her life as possible right now. After she gets into her new groove you can start switching brands if you desire.

Bless you for taking in this little girl who is suddenly finding herself orphaned just becuase she doesn't care for someone who visits her house.
