About the problems with bringing in a new cat -- it might be a true anomaly,
but when we got our second cat (both blue point siameses, if that might oddly
have anything to do with it), a pecking order was established very quickly,
and though they trade off chasing and being chased when playing, when it comes
time for feeding it's different. The first (and older) one eats first while
the newer one sits patiently out in the next room for her to finish. It's
especially strange that when the first one sleeps in past their daily morning
feeding, the newer one STILL won't eat until the first has eaten.

How 'bout it, folks? Anybody seen THIS sort of oddity before? (by the way, no,
the older cat and first to eat is not the strongest of the two...)
