Just the mother grey again when I get up. When I come back a few minutes later, I see one of the baby greys eating with her. I wish all the kitties were there, but this is an improvement.
However, the mother grey starts lifting her paw and striking at the head of the baby grey. I'm taken aback. It is as though the mother grey has gotten used to having the plate to herself and feels crowded - with just one of the kittens.
I would have thought after the separation that there would be nothing but happy love.
When I see the mother grey getting aggressive again, I slide the door open, making my presence known. My intentions were communicated surprisingly well. The mother grey seemed to understand perfectly what this is about. She backs away, and the baby grey continues eating.
The mother grey eventually leaves altogether, slinking back to the dead branches. The baby grey stops eating, and I think she meows in disappointment over the mother's absence, walking away as well.
What made feeding them nice was how they were such a loving family. Healthy. I hate to think that I got a dysfunctional family now. Another Stormy Dreamer. Maybe mothering is too much for most females.
