Another Slave with a Meankitty Needs Help

This is kinda fun....I like seeing everyone's response! Here's a shortie. Note the request we give non-sarcastic advice. One has to ponder--is that request in an of itself sarcastic or are people once again writing to Meankitty for REAL advice? Hm.... It's a delicate balance one must strike between sarcasm, sarcasm, more sarcasm and maybe a touch of something other than sarcasm.

Dear Meankitty,

I have a cute wil kitty poo named Fluffy. She hates all people except for those in my family. In fact she may wish to sink her teeth into them. What can I do to make my cutie kitty poo nicer? She's so sweet to me but she becomes demon cat when she see's an "outsider" (Except my Aunt... who for some reason she likes.) Please help me because I am sure you have helpful non-sarcastic advice that will answer my dreams!

How old is the kitty? And what kind of home did she live in before KG's?

I ask because we adopted a five-month-old kitten from a friend whose preteen daughter had played with the kitten so aggressively that she'd turned her into a total terror. Out of the blue, she'd jump on us with all four claws and fangs. I tried sprinkling water on her, yelling at her, everything short of actually beating her (which I don't think would've helped, anyway).

Over time, she's gotten nicer, and I think it comes from several things: a) she's growing older, b) my other cats discipline her when she's acting out*, c) we ignore her when she's being mean, and d) we pet her, give her treats, and generally make a fuss over her when she's being sweet.

* My big boy cat would back her into a corner, yell at her, and pop her on the nose. :-)
