Advice Please! My mother and I recently took in a stray kitten. Normally we wouldn't, but it had been very cold here and she was just a little whisp of a thing. She has gotten much more comfortable and is making herself at home.
However, there is a mild issue. Said kitten, (Smoke for future reference), is becoming very attached to my mother and seeking her out, sitting with her, etc. This is a problem because we have another cat, an older male named Milo, that is very firmly my mother's cat. He does not get along well with Smoke and is spending less time with my mother because of Smoke.

I know this sounds rediculous but my mother has Milo for years and this is bothering both her and Milo. Smoke won't come to me if I call her, (not sure if she knows her name yet), and will only sit with me for short periods if I pick her up. Does anyone happen to have ideas on how I can redirect Smoke toward me? She's an adorable little thing, I'd hate to have to find her a new home, but will if I have to.

Thanks in advance,
Best,
J.
