Intuitive training my kitty

[Guest guest]

Hi all,

Well, about a week ago, I rescued a tiny feral kitten who had been

foraging for food in a neighbor's garage. This kitten is SO tiny that

it must have literally been starving to risk being out in order to

get food.

At this point, the kitten is a member of the " clean plate club. "

Because it lived in the wild, it had to eat as much as it could when

the food was available. Sound familiar, any of us former " last

supper " dieters?

So, I am trying to let the kitten know that it is safe with me, and

that there is an unlimited supply of cat food here. I just keep

filling the plate again and again and again, giving this little kitty

the security of knowing that I will always provide it with food.

I am loving and nurturing this kitten, just as I did with myself in

the beginning of IE.

PS: A couple of nights ago, kitty woke me up at 2am, and I was

STARVING. I've been Fall Cleaning this week, and must have been

burning some extra calories. After the growling stomach kept me from

falling asleep, I finally got up and ate something. Normally, I'd

have had a glass of skim milk to stop the hunger and then gone back

to sleep. But, my body was telling me I was hungry, and so I nurtured

myself by feeding it...
