So I have a 24 week kitten female, and a 14 week male. I've had the 24 week kitten for almost 3 months, and the male for almost 2 weeks. They get along okayish, they still fight a bit too much. The main problem for me now is getting them not to eat each other's food.
I feed both 4 times a day and leave food for them out overnight. Both aren't exactly greater eaters. The female I usually have to persuade with finger or pushing her back to the bowl. I usually can get her to eat it all in half an hour. But the male is much harder, since he resists and mostly just licks his food. He'll eat off my finger, but still not enough.
Now that I give both free roam, the female keeps wanting to go to the male's food, and when the male goes for the female, she hisses. Normally this isn't a problem when I keep the door locked, but when I let them out, I can't watch them at all times.
Thoughts?
