Mother says that Nebuchadnezzar is "One smart kitten". I think I am starting to agree with her.
Mother feeds the pack every day around 1pm. She was running a little late today. Guess who went into her room, climbed into her lap and started yeowing at her. She said when she put him down and stood up, he ran to his food bowl, stopping every few steps to make sure she was following her.
He has partially abandoned me. He slept with me until around 3am. He got up, used the litter box and did not come back to bed. I found him this morning sleeping in the front room window with Enoch. Of course the moment I sit at the computer, he has to be on my lap or the keyboard.
He knows the difference between Mother and me. He knows Mom as were his food comes from, and he sees me as his protector. As long as he can see me he does not give the Huskies much attention and will even sleep on his back with his stomach fully exposed around the Huskies, if I am close by. He is a lot more cautious if he can't easily see me.
It is almost comedic to watch Nebuchadnezzar and the Huskies when they are in the same room together. They spend more time looking at me than they do each other. Jealousy runs rampant and everybody expects me to give them all of my attention. To the point of pushing and bogarting, which I make sure stays civil.
So anyway. He is likely just a couple of weeks away from a full initiation. That is when I will leave them all together on the back porch while I hide where they cant see me. The back porch has a lot of cat size hiding places where cats can go to get peace from the dogs. Husky play is not for the faint of heart. Though they will not hurt the cats, they just don't like to watch from the floor. They like to be in the balcony with their snack bowl.
When he passes the test, then I can stop worrying. So far so good. I just hope they keep on the even path to full pack status.
I don't allow food aggression among the pack, so I was not surprised to see the Huskies, Enoch, Nebuchadnezzar, and Sylvester, sharing the watering hole without any problems. Next time I will get a pic. One tiny head among all those giant heads looks funny.
