Hi! We have two not quite six month old kittens, Pippin and Eowyn. They're doing great, healthy, happy, affectionate and full of personality. But I do have a couple questions.
1. How do I keep them away from the aquariums? For now we're just discouraging the behaviour when we catch it. During the day it's not a problem because they stay in the bedroom when we're not home. But we'd like to start giving them the run of the house after the holidays. I'm thinking of putting double stick tape on the hoods. Any other suggestions?
2. Both kittens bathe each other. The little male, Pippin, seems obsessed with his sister's ears. Eowyn seems to enjoy it for awhile but wanders away when she gets tired of it. I object to the to the behaviour for a couple reasons. A. The fur around Eowyn's ears is constantly soaked and I worry about the moisture in her ears. B. It's a little gross. He snuffles in her ears, slurping and grunting. I should just get over it, but sometimes it drives me bonkers. However, I haven't been shooing him away from doing it since I don't want to discourage bathing.
Thanks for any help! (Even if you just tell me that I'm being silly about the ear licking)
