Any suggestions on dealing with food aggression? I am very short term fostering a found stray who turned out be an adoptee from a shelter and he has a tattoo. The rescue has tracked down the owner and kitty has been missing for about a year. He will be picking kitty up tomorrow. In the mean time, kitty has bit/attacked my dd the last two days. The first day she did nothing but walk by him. Today she picked up his food bowl to go wash it and put food in it. Both times he bit her on the leg. Last night I fed him 3.5 cans of food. He ate like he was starving. When I went to remove his empty food dish he bit me - but didn't break the skin. I'm worried because the man says his kids miss kitty dearly, and other than the food aggression kitty is SOOOOOOOOOO sweet and lovable. I'm worried the family may find that kitty has changed due to his last year of survival and they won't want him back.
I can't keep kitty because 2 of my fosters from last season are being returned due to health issues of the adopter's child, and I dont have enough room. The rescue will deal with that if need be, but I have an awful lot on my plate this week, and am concerned about the welfare of this kitty.
