And Tallulah did NOT like it. He figured it out all by himself; got
in and made a teeny little poop and scratched around, trying to cover
it but missing entirely. Tallulah was upset and dragged it out to eat
it. I backed her off, picked it up and put it back in the box, and
scratched litter over it while both cats looked on. Hubert stayed in
the box to scratch some more; Tallulah then scruffed him and dragged
him away from the box while I was washing my hands. *sigh* Anyway,
I do hope Hubert keeps it up and teaches his mom to do the same.
Tallulah's not liking any of Hubert's steps to becoming a Big Kitty;
she doesn't want him to eat cat food or drink water or use the
litterbox. It seems to me that she's being *seriously*
overprotective, but I don't know what to do about it. I am inclined
to mostly just trust Tallulah to raise her kitten, but I certainly
don't want Hubert to get discouraged.

Well good for Hubert! He's trying! Momma cat is certainly attempting to
get in the way, isn't she?

Strict mommy! Any way, I'm sure it will work out and I'm so glad you
have them both. :)
