feed the kittens at different times or in a different part of the house like behind closed doors form the other cat. you could also set out the food before you call the cat to eat so that way thee cat doesnt sit there and be impatient.

It sounds to me like the older cat is hungry and not getting enough to eat. drawing blood when it sees you getting its food must mean its starving. Leave dry cat food down at all times for the cat to knibble on as it wants and feed canned food moring and night. feed the kitten seperately in another room to make sure it gets the proper amount of food.

Put the food in the dish way ahead of time so that its ready for her is one way of not getting attacked by her. Id be tempted to carry a water spray though and every times she tried to attack me she would get sprayed-they dont like this and she may then associate her attacking you with getting sprayed. Feed the kitten separately-maybe after she has had hers so that she is no longer hungry and doesnt want the food anyhow.

I would suggest separating her from the other cats. I would also suggest not feeding them canned food regularly because it's not as nutrious and higher in fat than the dry food. Also, much of the canned food is in seafood flavors which has been known to give cats urinary tract infections.

Seems like she is a pushy little broad. I would put her in a room by herself and feed her there or at least make her wait until the other kitten has had his dinner.

feed half the can to her, on a plate, you can store the rest in the fridge, or feed the cats in different rooms (which is what i ended up doing), it worked out pretty well, this way its out of sight out of mind.
best of luck to ya
