‘I was SHOCKED at his DISRESPECT for his ELDERS! But then he ran and I chased him some more. It was kind of fun!’: Stubborn, older cat fails to reject new kitten, leading to an energetic introduction and the formation of an unlikely sibling bond

Whether it is a hooman family or a feline one, the introduction of a new sibling is not an easy one to handle. Not just for the parents, but also for the child who was there first. Suddenly, their attention has been cut in half, their pawrents who doted on them day and night are suddenly obsessed with a new arrival that gets to control everyone else's life. It is not an easy pill to swallow, no less when one is talking about cat children, who are notorious for being difficult when it comes to taking their meds.

And that is the core of our story today as we dive into the diary of a young catto who had to come to terms with the trials and tribulations of welcoming a younger sibling into their family. It is a story of feline jealousy, tension, hissing and ultimately the quashing of sibling rivalry in the name of family unity.
