I have a tricky kitten. And she's been giving me lots of good help with that lately, showing me how she thinks a dominant should deal with a submissive. However, she's showing me how she thinks a dominant should deal with a very, very obedient and eager submissive. Almost broken, it seems like at times. If she wasn't so full of personality and intelligence I'd simply feel bad for her.

However, she is. Not as much so as my favorite kitten, but she passes the test. I like her. Not as much as Tabi does yet, but I do like her quite a bit.

The issue is that I'm learning how to deal with a submissive that's very submissive, not a submissive that's resistant and at times conflicted or just too upset or depressed to react much at all. I can deal with arguing with her now, over the yeses and noes. I think I keep handling it well, right down to where I kept after her about her plug and practice today. Eventually it happened, and I praised her up for it, but I also am now debating if I need to be inquisitive more before coming to conclusions or just not let myself fuss at all over such things- like how she'd not reminded me of why she was so resistant to it beyond that she didn't want to until a long while later. I believe I over reacted at first to how much it bothered her and should have pushed the matter still, even if she was good and took orders later.

Stricter- I have to imagine that's the main issue. I need to be more strict.

Do that and, well... if I keep up as she's been with Lilly at the more extremes, I'll see how long before the two together get her to behave well and get her to stop being so resistant to those sorts of orders and actions. It's gonna be a little hard to keep her on edge at a distance until I make that break through, but until then, I suppose it's going to be a case of... I don't even know the right term.

Anyway.

Time is dwindling. Less than a week.
