prada and food...

as mentioned before, since we don't know where prada came from or her history, there are still a lot of unanswered questions about her and annoying habits that she has... one of them was that when we would feed her, she'd eat and growl... she would even put one paw in the bowl of food so that no one would get to it... not that we would want to anyways... sometimes she would swat at us... fortunately this has tapered off...

now it's with treats and other types of food... since she's my brother-in-law's cat, he likes to feed her fruit (which she likes) and man... you'd think we were feeding a wild beast.... he was feeding her apples one time and the first piece she took it and kind of ran away with it to consume it... second piece he held out, she growled, swatted with claws extended, scratched him, got her apple piece, ran, and ate it... 

i had the same unfortunate experience when i was giving her some treats... she even hissed at me... i was thinking, this is a good thing!  why are you so protective?  so now when i give her treats, i have to toss it to her like a zoo keeper tossing meat to the lions... i'm not taking anymore chances of being sliced open.... trim her nails you say?  oh, that's a whole other entry... you'll see... 

she must've really had to fend for her food or maybe she was the runt of the litter that got rejected and couldn't feed... 

i hope she gets over this food aggression... who would've known a small kitten could be food aggressive.... with this one, you find out something new each day...
