Audrey at Work

Audrey is making friends with this kitten.

A poor grandma with a walker found this orphan baby, hand-raising it and bottle feeding until it was old enough for solid foods. Only trouble is, orphan kittens don't have mama around to show them who's boss, so they tend to get mean.

Grandma brought this kitty to the vet, asking for help. So it's Audrey's job to help socialize the kitten. I'd say it's not going too well.

Audrey disagrees. "You should have seen it when it first came," she said. All you had to do was walk into the cat room, and this little kitty started hissing and dive-bombing the cage door, trying to take you out.


No wonder grandma needed a hand, with Kittykins flinging himself at her walker and shredding her nylons!

The remedy: hold it by the scruff of its neck while it squirms and hisses. Try not to get your arm ripped off. Then, when it calms down a bit, tell it what a good kitty it is.
