I’ve had my kitten for just under a month she has been letting me hold her and every time I do first thing she does is touch my nose with her nose, when I’ve looked it up says it’s how they say hello but I have been with her all day working from home.

is it affection or is she just sniffing me?

*** thank you everyone, I’ve never had a post with so much attention I’m not an active Reddit user, my kitten Smokey is currently asleep at the side of me im glad she is trusting me and loving me. After some nose boops she has been more affectionate tonight then attacked my hand/arm in playful way. I lost my soul dogs almost 5 and 3 years old I didn’t think I could love another pet but she is my baby although 5am wake up calls make me question my life choices. ***

I think they’re mad at me :/

Ophelia loves pets, kisses, and playtime!

Hiya, this is my car Minoxidil aka Minnie! No idea what her coat is, just a skrungily creature with crop circles on her. I'd love to know yalls thoughts!

EDIT: Yes, I very much know Minoxidil is toxic to cats. I don't use it haha.

Found her sleeping outside of my house. I decided to take her in and got her checked up at the vet where she was diagnosed with a respiratory infection. She’s now on antibiotics and has been living with me for three weeks now! She’s much happier , less shy, and really energetic. Also, age estimates? My best guess is around 13 weeks.

I couldn't split these sisters up... So I returned home with 2 kittens

Is he chopped guys?

As the title says, I advocated for my kitten and I was right. I feel so relieved. So here's the story:

I got my baby girl Lucy 17 weeks ago and I absolutely love her to bits. I've had mutiple cats before so I knew I wanted a cat when it felt like I could take care of one. So when I saw Lucy's litter I fell in love and after visiting I took my girl home. The first week was great, I was home all week bonding with her and making sure she uses the litter box ect. In this week I found out she had flees, took care of that and all was fine again. After a week I noticed mutiple bloody wounds in her neck, so obviously I went to the vet (had to take her for vaccination and checkup anyway) they did multiple tests over a course of 3 weeks but couldn't find anything weird, no fungal or anything. Got an antibiotic cream and shampoo. The wounds went away, but then she started to develop cat acne, again went to the vets and they said to get CLX wipes. By this time I was dealing with MAJOR anxiety and kitten blues, almost wanting to give her up because I couldn't sleep or eat or keep food down because I was so worried about her. After a few week of using the wipes, the cat acne went away. Then she started to scratch her face open and it really looked like she got into a big fight, poor baby. Last week she started twitching her eye, went to the vet, they described me eye ointment without looking further, said 'poor baby' when they saw her face and gone I was. The eye treatment didn't help (duh) and later in the week I found out she had an long open spot on the back of her leg, probably from over grooming. Called the vet and they said to use honey ointment. She also developed a big upper lip with white patches. It was just too much

I decided to get a second opinion because they're just giving me ointments that don't work which causes me to come back and gonr is my money (I'm not in a bad financial position, but still). Went to a different vet this morning and and after 2 minutes of checking her out he could see it was an auto immune disease/allergy and she had to go on special food, medicine and he gave her a shot. 2 minutes. I knew something was wrong and the other vet made me think I was just a crazy cat lady. I'm so glad I kept pushing. Now my girl is gonna be okay and hopefully her quality of life gets better.

Sorry for the long story I just really wanted to vent. Also, look how cute she is

his name is Rusty and I’m just so obsessed with him I have to share his cuteness

I recently got three little kittens and made them a happy place to be, really enjoying life right now.

It really helps the recovery from the family depression I got through last three years..

I've had many big dogs in my life but those little ones bring a whole complete other vibe as they require less work to stay busy by themselves and it's good company while I clean-up around.

Cheers!

Hi all! This is my baby Cooper a few weeks after I rescued him from my neighbour’s shed back in April. He was freezing, tiny, and covered in fleas. He’s now 5 months old and a very healthy happy neutered boy with the fluffiest tail I’ve ever seen! ☺️🥰

Thanks so much to everyone who answered my last post about adopting a kitten after my pup passed and how I should double up. Your very unanimous advice was taken haha!!

Please meet Rupert (left) & Diana (right). When I went to go get my original (and only) kitten, Rupert who is her bio brother was completely wrapped in her. It was a sign.

I can’t begin to express my love for them 😭 just feel like they are meant to be here. I’ve nicknamed them the twins. My toddlers love them and today the feeling has become mutual! They’ve been playing together all morning. We’re on day two and as of now they are staying in my room to settle. Although they’re getting VERY comfortable fast. Our house is semi under construction and there are a lot of hiding places. I would LOVE any advice how to prevent them hiding on me in the walls or wherever though I think I know the answer lol

Night 1 they crammed themselves behind my bed then hid in the closet. Night 2 (last night) I felt a few times they popped up on my bed, but they still run if I try to hold one. Any habits/tips on how to make them love on me once they’re 100% comfortable?!

Thanks again for all the replies it really made the decision much easier ❤️

my kitten has been really playful recently, but that also means he is getting more aggressive. He bites, scratches, and kicks a lot (and mostly only with me), i don’t mind because he’s cute but i worry if this is a underlying problem and also if he never grows out of this phase, if he scratches my hand in the future like how he does now, it would hurt a lot.

She is 8 weeks old, and she is terrified of everything (brought her home last night) I know it’s to be expected because everything is new and she is not used to being handled etc. she cries if I leave her alone and wouldn’t stop while I was sleeping until I held her in my arms for 3 hours I slept on the couch with her then I got a huge crick in my neck so I put her in her play pen with her litter box, water, and food as well as toys and a scratching post and she cried until I woke up. She has yet to eat anything but treats, has not used the multiple litter boxes or drank any water. I love her and I’m not upset just looking for some advice to get us through this stage. She is super sweet just very scared 🥲

Coming on here to celebrate Pumpkin turning 5 weeks old and eating wet food all by herself for the first time today! 🥹🎃🧡

I rescued her when she was only a couple of days old after her mom abandoned her. I had never cared for a kitten this tiny, and honestly this whole process has been scary. So many sleepless nights, round the clock feedings, and moments of wondering if I was doing everything right. Kitten Lady’s videos and resources helped me learn so much and gave me confidence when I needed it most.

Today watching her eat wet food on her own I started ugly crying. It might seem like such a little thing but after everything she’s been through it felt huge. This tiny baby who depended on me for absolutely everything is growing up and figuring things out on her own 😭

I just wanted to share this big milestone with people who would understand why a kitten eating off a plate had me sobbing. Here’s to growing bigger, stronger, and a little more independent every day!!!

(It may be a couch but the point stands lol) Considering embroidering her name across the front… but also just may get a pillow with her name embroidered on it instead.

She is 8-10 weeks old and I've had her less than 24 hours! She is so sweet, healthy appetite, very loving, snuggled all night in bed with hubby and is very vocal! Oh and very good in litterbox, she gets her back feet in her poo every time! 😆

Her favourite sleeping position is "the superman" where she plomps down with her forelegs extended, and every time I put on my jacket she finds any opportunity to jump on my shoulder and flop down for a free ride.

His little smile! Isn't he a cutie!

His name is Soup!

Because when we got him, his belly looked like it was filled with soup every time he ate! 🤭
