Carol Perkins: Little Bit and Bruno Previous Column: Remembering Phil Donahue By Carol Perkins My friend found a kitty in the middle of a highway, stopped, and picked it up. She took it to a neighbor's house to keep until she returned from town. When we met later that day, she told me the story. "I've been wanting a kitty," I said. A stray tomcat had shown up at our house, but he wanted very little to do with us. By the look of both sides of his neck, he'd been in a fight recently. The next day, I picked up the kitty and brought her home. She was the tiniest little thing and so hungry. We watched her eat and marveled how something that small could be so feisty. We call her "Little Bit." Our tomcat is Bruno. We also watched both cats to see how the big one would react to the tiny one. Not well. The kitten could not keep to herself. Even with Bruno swiping at her, she went back for more. He slapped her away. I conked him on the head to get his attention and he pouted for a few hours. The little cat edged her up back to him but this time, he ran. "You scared him," Guy said, feeling sorry for Bruno. After all, he had arrived first. Little Bit dashed about the deck, played with leaves, and drank her milk. One cold morning Guy warmed it for her. Bruno stayed gone more often, and we were afraid he was never coming back. However, he returned to his "eating" bowl, devoured his food, and then sauntered to her bowl. He was not going to let her eat. When she edged toward her bowl, he slapped her again. "This isn't going to work," Guy said. Bruno is not a loving cat. Little Bit is begging for affection. If Bruno would get over being jealous, they could be a comfort to each other. In the meantime, Little Bit hides under a table that Bruno can't reach. She heads for his food bowl and eats what's left when he goes out of sight. This should be an interesting development to see if they bond, Bruno moves, or Little Bit ends up with a concussion. Even a kitten can't be slapped around too much without fighting back. Little Bit is, after all, a female. You can contact Carol at carolperkins06@gmail.com. This story was posted on 2024-08-30 09:11:41
