#MeToo Can Be A Relation Maker Instead Of A Relation Breaker
(Hammer needed to be acknowledged)

At first they were inseparable, until ……

“Something’s wrong, I’m bummed out!” was my message from Mitch. He went on to say that his cat, Hammer and the new kitten were really rocking until yesterday. The kitten shadowed him, and Hammer even let the kitten sleep on top of him. But now Hammer hissed and growled at the kitten, really dissed him. “I followed your intro and it worked until now.”

Acknowledge — #MeToo
When I asked Mitch if he always mentioned/acknowledged Hammer when he interacted with the kitten, he said, “Sure, except for yesterday and also, maybe the day before when the kitten climbed on my chest to be petted while Hammer was in another room. I waited 10 days from the day Hammer groomed the kitten before I petted or hung out with the kitten.”

The kitten was front and center

#MeToo — A Positive Spin
“Yes, you were very to the letter, but you can’t let Hammer down. Your interactions with the kitten were not under the radar to Hammer. He’s endowed with kitty radar — cat sense so he doesn’t have to see — he can sense. Hammer felt left out. You have to continue to acknowledge Hammer verbally — “Right Hammer” is enough, or more if you’re feeling chatty. This way his natural #MeToo feelings will be addressed and he won’t have to act out because he felt left out.’

Hammer felt rejected

“OMG, I forgot I had to continue to mention Hammer, and it’s only been three weeks since the kitten moved in. It’s not asking a lot. I can handle this #MeToo relationship. I like the positive spin.

A photo arrived the next morning with the caption: “#MeToo Rocks!”
