First of all, I am SOOOOO happy to hear from you.


And of course, very happy at the addition of a second cat.

I will be waiting to see and hear more......SOON!!!

Sadly Zaicha has been a Hungry Cat,and has learned to deal with other Cats as threats to maybe the only good meal of the day.
You may have to keep them sepertaed until Zaicha realizes that there is an endless supply of food.
We cant wait for Photos,and we pray that Zaicha and Bastet can learn to be Friends.

Welcome back!!! I'm sorry to hear that you've had some health and work problems but I'm glad that you're doing well now. Congrats on your new cat!!! Since Zaicha was starved, she's probably become very aggressive around food. I'd start feeding her in a seperate room so that Bastet won't have to deal with her food aggression. I hope that everything will work out. Please continue to keep us updated and I'm also looking forward to seeing some new pictures of both furkids.

I some how missed the part about the food aggression. Just think about the thin condition you got Zaicha in.......she might guard food for a while until she understand that there will always be more. So your best thing to do is keep food at several locations around the home. Zaicha can't guard them all at the same time. OR, do as I do and feed portioned meels twice a day comepletely seperate from each other, then pick up ALL food.

Give her time, the "greed" will wear off. Sometimes it takes longer than others, but it will happen.

Welcome back BastetsMum.
I'm sorry to hear about your work and health problems, but happy to hear that things are settling down and that your health issues were not serious ones. How horrible that you had two serious car accidents in less than 6 months. I pray that this will be the end of accidents for you guys, like, forever.
Glad to hear that Mandi and Charlie are doing well, even though they have been nawty and that Bastet is still her wonderful self.
What a wonderful idea to get Bastet a companion. What a sin though to hear that Zaicha had been half starved all her life. Poor baby.
Jen gave some excellent advice on what to do with the feeding.
Good luck with her and I can't wait to see pictures of sweet Bastet and Zaicha.

Oh, I am so glad you came back!!!!

I did ask you at one stage to PM me, to keep in contact. I know how hard it is to move countries, let alone states!!!!!

I know that the kitty people will have helpful advice for you regarding food aggression - I have only had that a few times (with Ruby monster), and I took her food away, and only fed Captain.
Ruby got fed later on ........ did that a few times, and she stopped.

BUT

I am sure it is different for kitties. Fingers crossed!!
