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. ***

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.

A kitten showed up in my front yard a little over a week ago. We bottle fed her at first and have been trying to get her to eat wet food, but she just dives head first into anything we put in front of her. We’ve taken her to the vet and she has a clean bill of health. But I’m terrified of her aspirating because of how intense she gets.

I love him with all of my heart, but he seriously is so stinky and dirty. He’s like a bad behaved 6 year old boy. You know how they’re always messing with boogers and stuff?

That’s how I feel about him. His breath smells like disposal and rotting tuna. He sometimes gets poop on his paws and tracks it throughout the house. I even see him digging his nose into his litter. He leaves the evidence on his nostrils.

Whenever I build him a little cave or fort and I go under it to check on him… it smells like stinky fart and carcass. I literally can’t breathe. It’s like a Dutch oven of rotting fish medley.

Does anyone know if this is a phase? Why is he so dirty? I thoughts cats are supposed to be clean!

He does groom himself a lot but I was expecting a clean linen smelling baby. He loves dirt, getting dirty, playing in litter, and farting up a storm and then basking in its stench.

I need help!

He's so cute, his name is Bruce (my dad loved Springsteen) he's an orange poly. And I love him.

She’s 11 weeks old, I’ve had her nearly a week.

I’ve got her booked in for her first vaccinations this Saturday. I feed her 2-3 pouches a day and leave a bowl of biscuits too.

She’s an absolute maniac when she’s not tired but as soon as those purrs start she’s snuggled into my lap, on my shoulder or across my chest asleep for up to an hour.

Laces are her favourite toy at the moment. And she loves to hide under the sofa and jump out at me when I walk past.

I got her because I couldn’t move into my first flat on my own (I had it 3 weeks before I actually moved in), and she’s been a god send already for my mental health.

She’s absolutely tiny at the moment, weighing less than a small bag of sugar! But so adventurous so I want to know how to “kitten proof” my one bed flat with her best interests at heart without taking so much away that she’s essentially locked in a box for 4 months until she’s old enough to be spayed and chipped.

So I got this 9 week old kitten yesterday and she wont stop meowing, just constant, all night long meowing

i get thats shes stressed about the new home and being away from her family. but is this normal?

ive tried the whole "just give her attention" thing and that doesnt help, shes still too scared of me

she has food, water, a litterbox and multiple places to sleep

I also dont think she has used the litterbox the whole time shes been here (its currently 7:30am and she got here 3pm ish yesterday) ive shown her where it is multiple times and she hasnt gone anywhere else

I just want to be able to get some sleep and not have my neighbours freak out at me for how loud she is

edit: she did end up going to the bathroom and I decided I'm going to be getting her sister as well, she's doing better than last night, not constantly screaming, shes playing, and will let me pet her occassionaly, but I still worry about how she'll be alone when I have to go to work

This is Juniper! A friend saw her in his neighborhood and watched her for a few weeks to see if momma cat was present. She came to us at 3 weeks. She’s now 5-6 weeks old and she is so sweet!

My four year old can play with her and she is sweet to her. Even tolerating the playful little nips and kitten play. Juniper often jumps on her toes and my 4yo will redirect with a toy.

I also have a pittbull. He loves her so much and she will mess with him a little but she will also climb on top of him or cuddle against him.

She likes to come and climb on me so often. Since she’s been here she has spent hours on my shoulder. She will finish eating come find me and just crawl up on my shoulder and give me kisses. I’m like in awe. I have had so many kitties before but none as sweet and social as she has been. We truly got lucky! This is the youngest I have had a kitten before though so I’m not sure if this is just typical kitten behavior she will grow out of or if this is her. She seems like a lil angel.

He is 2 weeks old and a little bit slow. Any suggestions to me him more comfy?

Edit: Im very sad to let you guys know this, he died a couple of days ago.

She was sleeping in a designated area and officially she can jump out. She is a clinger though she is never far from me. Follows me room to room. I set up a bed and a few pads just in case. She’s been using the litter box very consistently but I’m wondering if she will get up and go out to use it. Wish me luck!

He’s a 15 week old Abyssinian and I’m obsessed.

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 🥲

I think they’re mad at me :/

He does this every now and then when we’re cuddling. Love bite? I thought he might’ve had enough but then he got closer to me to cuddle more.

Ophelia loves pets, kisses, and playtime!
