A Picture is Worth a Thousand Words

I recently told you about Gracie’s escalation in aggression toward Kiki. I would love to say the problem is gone. It still persists though.

I tell Gracie “no” when she nips at Kiki. I grab Kiki and make sure Gracie sees that we are cuddling. I then praise Gracie whenever she does not whine, growl, or nip. Some days, they get along well. Other days, they battle all day long, each vying for as much of my attention as possible.

This past weekend, I spent some time trying to capture photos for the annual Christmas card. These two pics sum up the lovely relationship Kiki and Gracie share. As you can see from the first pic, Gracie is slowly crawling into the picture, upset that Kiki is eating lots of cat treats:

The second pic was snapped after Gracie got too close and growled at Kiki. Kiki gave Gracie a smack on the nose before leaving.

Oh, dear. Training continues….
