Here I am again - this time about my new kittens. We have a 10 year old cat, an 8 year old cat, and about a month ago got two new kittens. The kittens are quite active and are messing with the older two. When my 8 year old goes to the food or water bowl, one of the kittens has to come, too, and mess with him. We have multiple water dishes and multiple food dishes out, so there's ample room for all to eat and drink. Anyone dealt with this before? How long does it usually take?
