She was about 6 months old when we got her\u00a0&#8211; Dan and I had gone to the Global Pet Expo in Orlando with the intention of meeting people and learning about pet industry trends, but instead came home with a rescue kitten that was not at all on our radar of things to do!!<!--more--><\/p>\n<p>Anyhow, Kizmet fell in love with her the instant he laid eyes on her and bequeathed himself her indentured guardian. \u00a0She put up a brief hissy fit, but once she realized he was friend, not foe, they become bonded soul-mates and have remained so ever since. Check out the video of the two of them to see what I mean &#8211; this was them in the early stages of their relationship:<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/HxW9fu6XAOo\" width=\"460\" height=\"259\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_16019\" style=\"width: 470px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><a href=\"http:\/\/zeezoey.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/DSC_9901.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-16019\" class=\"borderGreen wp-image-16019 size-full\" src=\"http:\/\/zeezoey.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/DSC_9901.jpg\" alt=\"DSC_9901\" width=\"460\" height=\"344\" srcset=\"https:\/\/zeezoey.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/DSC_9901.jpg 460w, https:\/\/zeezoey.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/DSC_9901-300x224.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 460px) 100vw, 460px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-16019\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">This is Kizmet and Jazmine in a more recent picture. Wherever Jazmine is, Kizmet is never far behind.<\/p><\/div>\n<p>So you can only imagine how dreadful a scene this was when Kizmet came into my office and witnessed this:<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/dDQkySt4rrY\" width=\"460\" height=\"259\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>I apologize for how brief the video was and how atrociously shot it was, but in a nutshell, it was Jazmine watching a video of Cody from <a href=\"http:\/\/www.catchatwithcarenandcody.com\/2016\/01\/cat-shaming-or-if-you-dont-stop-whining.html\" target=\"_blank\">Cat Chat With Caren and Cody<\/a>. Caren captured Cody pitifully meowing for snacks and Jazmine was thoroughly mesmerized with him!! She was initially sitting on a shelf above my computer and when she heard Cody, she immediately came down to see what the noise was. When she saw him on the screen, she started scratching at the screen and meowing back at him. Here is the video of Cody if you&#8217;d like to watch it &#8211; thank you to Caren for letting me share it!<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/eiIjwEiVFtc\" width=\"460\" height=\"259\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>That&#8217;s when Kizmet entered the room. Uh oh. Busted. He was so upset with Jazmine that he jumped up to my desk to swat at her to get down. And then for good measure, he swatted at the other cats in the room. I had wanted to get a good video clip of Jazmine\u00a0interacting with Cody &#8211; it really was precious &#8211; but Kizmet was so agitated that I decided it was best to leave the situation alone.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_16021\" style=\"width: 470px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"http:\/\/zeezoey.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/9-1814KizmetJazmine-Copy-2.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-16021\" class=\"borderGreen wp-image-16021 size-full\" src=\"http:\/\/zeezoey.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/9-1814KizmetJazmine-Copy-2.jpg\" alt=\"9-1814KizmetJazmine---Copy-(2)\" width=\"460\" height=\"475\" srcset=\"https:\/\/zeezoey.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/9-1814KizmetJazmine-Copy-2.jpg 460w, https:\/\/zeezoey.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/9-1814KizmetJazmine-Copy-2-291x300.jpg 291w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 460px) 100vw, 460px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-16021\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Oh dear&#8230; it looks like Jazmine has some explaining to do&#8230;<\/p><\/div>\n<p>Kizmet is now sleeping my \u00a0bedroom and Jazmine is back up on top of the shelf above my computer. She seems to be quite contrite at the moment and I do hope these two will be able to repair their relationship. I do believe she meant no harm and I am sure deep in her heart, Kizmet still remains her true love. <\/p>\n<p>Cody is quite the irresistible cat, so I can understand her temporary indiscretion. And to be fair, when we had a female\u00a0house guest, Rose, the cat I found in the road one day and brought home to find her owner (which I did) \u00a0Kizmet was pining at the guest bedroom door where she was staying to get in to say hello to her. So there you go, I guess all&#8217;s fair in love and war as they say.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_16020\" style=\"width: 470px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"http:\/\/zeezoey.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/DSC_0352.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-16020\" class=\"borderGreen wp-image-16020 size-full\" src=\"http:\/\/zeezoey.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/DSC_0352.jpg\" alt=\"DSC_0352\" width=\"460\" height=\"302\" srcset=\"https:\/\/zeezoey.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/DSC_0352.jpg 460w, https:\/\/zeezoey.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/DSC_0352-300x197.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 460px) 100vw, 460px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-16020\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Jazmine back up on the shelf&#8230; She does appear to be sorry&#8230;<\/p><\/div>\n<p>All kidding aside, I think what is most fascinating about all of this, is that it shows just how complex animals really are. Something provokes them and they react as best they can to diffuse the situation. The drama made for an entertaining and emotional story for me &#8211; a classic lovers spat &#8211; but it was really just their instinctual reactions to the stimulus at hand and I knew enough to stop playing Cody&#8217;s video because it was clearly agitating Kizmet. And that&#8217;s the lesson to this, if you have cats that are lashing out or battling with one another, do make the attempt to understand the environment and the root cause of what&#8217;s causing the altercation.<\/p>\n<p>We want our kitties to be as happy as possible in their homes, that&#8217;s really the bottom line!
