It Sucks to be Little

Poor Sammy.  It sucks to be the "littlest" sister.

Bandit (9+ pounds) is sitting on Mommy's lap in Mommy's office.  Oh boy, I
can go cuddle with Mommy *and* big sister!!  Sammy runs over, jumps up to
put her two front feet on Mommys leg, looks at Bandit with a smile on her
face and waits an invitation to cuddle.  Bandit hisses at Sammy and boxes
her ear!  Sammy squeals and runs away, looking back over her shoulder sadly
with a wounded, resentful look in her eyes.

Demi (6+ pounds) is sitting on top of the cat condo that Sammy likes to bat
around (the thing weighs 20 pounds, but she can bat it around like a cat
toy).  Oh boy, big sister must want to play!  Sammy runs over, jumps up to
put her two front feet on the cat condo, looks at Demi with a smile on her
face and waits for an invitation to play.  Demi hisses at Sammy and boxes
her ear!  Sammy squeals and runs away, looking back over her shoulder sadly
with a wounded, resentful look in her eyes.

Jessie (4+ pounds) is sitting on the coffee table next to the red dot
greeble.  Oh boy, big sister must want to shine the red dot greeble for her
to play with!  Sammy runs over, jumps up to put her two front feet on the
coffee table, looks at Jessie with a smile on her face and waits for Jessie
to shine the red dot greeble for her to play with.  Jessie hisses at Sammy
and boxes her ear!  Sammy squeals and runs away, looking back over her
shoulder sadly with a wounded, resentful look in her eyes.

Man, how awful is it to be the littlest sister??!!!  *Everybody* is always
picking on her and beating her up.  If only she weren't so little she might
be able to defend herself!!!

Hugs,

CatNipped  <===== Waiting for Sammy to realize she weighs 15+ pounds and
could *squash* her sisters simply by sitting on them!!!!

It would be interesting if you could ever get a picture of them all together
for comparison.

Yeah, that would be cool!  A group picture :-)

I couldn't get them all to stay that close to one another.  Since Bandit is
the oldest she seems to have set the tone of how they get along (or rather
*don't* get along).  Sammy can get close to each of the other cats, one on
one, just because she's such a little tut.  I'll try to get a picture with
each of the other cats and post them.

Hugs,

Heh. Put them on a spot to photograph and mark where they are and where you
stand. Then take a picture of each so that size is completely relative. They
you can photoshop them together!

LOL!  I actually thought about that - marking the floor with four pieces of
tape so that the "background" will look untouched.  Might give it a try!

Poor Sammy!  Don't worry too much about her.  Things will work
themselves out with time.

While I suspect in time Sammy will realize her own power, I'm glad
that Kumani and Tyche are roughly the same size as one another, and
still wrestle like kittens.  I suspect it saves a lot of injuries from
provoking Nox.

She's obviously little at heart. :)

I know all about that Catnipped, I was the youngest and the littlest'
sister, my Dad was always saying 'leave her alone she's only little'
I sympathise with Sammy.    Jean.P.
