While Other Places Have Ponies Or Parrots...

May 05, 2015 22:12

Hiccup is settling in quite nicely here. He already knows my sister and her voice, knows she is 'Mama', will start crying when she comes in from work and he can hear her from the other room. He watches everything she does, his eyes follow her everywhere. He has also learned that I am good for a snuggle and will curl up on my boob or in my armpit ( Read more... )

brothers!, the nephew, sick n tired, birthdays, photos - my life, family circus, blame canada, little girl cousin, furry family, cats are squishy fun!, that's why they call it a workout, photos - pets, real life, sister oh sister

Such a cutie-pie! I'm glad the other cats are taking to him, or at least not actively disliking him!

Yay, visits! Boo, exhaustion!

Kirk acts so put out by Hiccup, but I think he is really glad to have a playmate. Pippin isn't as into brother-wrestling as he used to be when they are younger and Kirk stills has tons of energy (IDEK how since he is so tiny, he should run out energy faster than anyone!). So Hiccup has really kept him entertained and Kirk's behavior even seems better since Hiccup came along. Roo stills hisses and chases Hiccup off whenever Hiccup tries to play with him. Pippin seems to like him the best and has taken on the caretaker role, which is adorable. Hiccup is still a biter though - we gotta break him of that.

Bite him back! (What we used to do was catch the kitty's face and hold the jaws -gently!- shut, repeating as necessary until they learned better.)

I've been putting my finger under his chin, tipping his head back and away from the bitee and telling him NO very sternly. I know it's a symptom of being taken from his mother and weaned way too early but he's old enough now, he needs to stop.

My mother once bit my brother back to get get him to stop. My little brother was about three and biting everyone and he bit my older brother and almost took his ear off and blood was running down my older brother's face and my mom picked the little one up by his shirt, bit him as hard as she could on the arm and then locked him in his bedroom, bleeding, and told him to think about how that felt. Actually, it was kind of horrifying. Huh. OMG, now I don't know why shared that horrid story!

Holy cow! I bet it worked, though....

Oh yeah, it worked! Kid never bit again. ;)
