I'm not sure what Stuart's life was like prior to living with us but sometimes I think he was raised with the devils children when it comes to feeding time!
When we first got him he would growl and hiss and attack you if you touched his food (of course he would do the same to the other two cats). I knew they would teach him manors about sharing the food and he has learned to share with them fantasically. He never growls or hisses, but I would never feed him with your own two hands.....you might not come back with any fingers!!!!!!!!!!
So tonight I gave Enzy some raw chicken and Stuart smelled the chicken on my finger and sunk his teeth right in me! I didn't give him any chicken because of that. I really don't know what to do about that! The other two cats are great about taking the food out of your fingers very nicely.....
Anyone have ideas? Does he just need more time to grow up? He's about 4 months now. I just don't know what to do and I don't like the idea of a child slipping him some food and him eating their hand off.
