Feeding Schedule Recommendations

[Brigitte Cowell]

It's possible. We usually recommend getting one kitten at a time to make it easier to establish a bond between human and kitten before there's another kitten to compete with

There's no telling how over time they are going to mature. Some cats are just born extroverts. It was a must have trait for my SV. The key is responding to their body language because SO MUCH with a cat is non-verbal.

Here are my tips for being the irreplaceable human in their lives:

• Be interesting, hide-and-seek, peek-a-boo (once you are perceived as not being an aggressor)
• Keep engaging them daily one-on-one with interactive play, if the other jumps in, try to change up the type of play to what the one cat enjoys more.
• Split your time equally, don't show favoritism even if one cat is less responsive.
• Your hands are not toys.
• Allow them to be cats, they will scratch, provide plenty of things to distract.
• Be firm, but loveable if you need to tell then NO!
• If you make it a competition, one cat will win so avoid this whenever possible.
• Develop a special routine(s) with each.
• Recognize they will love you in their own individual way.
• When they treat you like an equal, and for a cat that's something, you did the above well.

Thanks a lot Sunny, those are some great points, I'll do my absolute best for these two cats.

For dominance, my money is on attitude.
Feeding schedule? We were trained to 4 meals per day. And we are greeted at the garage door, with the feed me head bump and stare.
I am confident the Savannahs will own you. It's unique the way they do it. It's why most of us have more than one.

I got them and they are both great! I put out the zupreme/9lives but they both wont touch it
