Some cats do have unusual cravings. Usually they are a result of malnutition, but in your case, perhaps the kitten is not absorbing all his food properly. You might want to seek out a feline specialist and discuss this problem. There is not a whole lot you can do with a cat who eats everything except to be very careful and watchful - which is almost impossible.

As for the kitten, time away from the other fellow will help him socialize with you better. Take him into a quiet room and pretend to be invovled in something - reading or using the computer. Do not make eye contact or talk to him. Instead toss him a treat every few minutes for about 15 minutes a day. He should warm up pretty quickly. The key is not to look at him or talk to him during this period.

Smile, it will make them wonder what you are up to!
