I have two questions pertaining to Scratch. Whenever Scratch wants wet food, and I open the fridge to get the can, Squee wakes up from wherever she is and runs into the kitchen. When I'm putting the food into their dishes, Squee eats it right away even though Scratch wanted it. I've tried moving Squee from the dish to let Scratch eat it, but Scratch just lets Squee eat all her food. I've tried putting Scratch in a room with her wet food so she can eat it without Squee in her face, but she usually doesn't eat it when I try that. I don't know what else to do... I've also put wet food in more than one dish so they can eat at the same time but they never do.

My other question is: why is Scratch so afraid of people? Whenever she is laying down on a bed and someone goes to lay on it and pet her, she runs away. She doesn't like to be held, and when I go to play with her, she runs away. The only thing she really tolerates is being pet. I want to play with her, and pet her when she's sitting down, but she always runs away. What should I do?

try feeding them on two different levels. that's what i do for stoli and luxor. luxor eats with his bowl on the floor, and stoli eats on the counter. it takes luxor longer to jump up and I can put him right back down.
