Re: The Last Word
At the adoption event, one of the sets of kittens had a runt. Lori also would suckle on the other kittens which can cause some problems, so at first we tried a bitter application. No luck with that. (And the bitter stuff really tasted horrible, I got scratched later and made the mistake of using my tongue to clean the blood off my hand. )
We moved her to a couple different spots until we put her in with a big orange kitten. Caramello treated he like a little sister, cleaning her up a bit. Whenever she would try suckling, he'd just push her off, so it worked real well. And then both of them got adopted.
