A Tortie Guide to Introducing a Kitten to a New Home

September 18, 2014 By: Summer Samba66 Comments

Note: Binga told me that Sparkle approved this blog post before I moved in. I am not sure this is true, but she insisted, and I was kind of scared to say no.

Really? I thought it was rude

Rule #1: All kittens must past the smell test. No exceptions.

The truth is she got locked away for doing this

Rule #2: Kittens do not take priority in photo sessions. Photobombing by resident torties should not only be allowed, but welcomed.

That was supposed to be MY food!

Rule #3: Any food set in front of the kitten must be taste tested by the resident tortie. If the resident tortie decides she likes it, she is allowed to eat as much as she wants.

I don't know how she expects anyone to open it with her standing on it like that

Rule #4: All deliveries must be thoroughly inspected by the resident tortie first, and that includes any packages that are addressed specifically to the kitten.

It's been an hour and I am still waiting for my turn

Rule #5: All boxes belong to the resident tortie. The kitten may have the box when the resident tortie becomes bored with it… if that ever happens.

At least this is better than getting whapped

When the kitten is found to be in compliance with all of the above, then and only then may she be allowed to touch noses with the resident tortie.

    I’m with YOU on the first picture. Not only is that
    rude…..it’s offensive. That butt sniffing is my main
    complaint about dogs – they can’t pass up a single
    butt. Well, anyway, you were really cute at THAT
    age too.

    Wow, those are some Tortie-heavy rules! I think the only reason they went through is because of how nice the kitten is, MOL

    Binga certainly knows how to lay down the rules. I am sure you passed with flying colours though.
