I got a kitten and I LOVE HIM!!

Lillylilly · 22-12-2009 1:52pm #1

I got a kitten for my boy for Christmas and gave it to him three days ago... and I can't believe how much fun he is! I've never been a cat person, but I am head over heels in love with this little baby cat!!

He's so cute, and furry, and loves to snuggle. Little tasks are impossible to do cos he's always playing. He's constantly stepping on the keyboard, chewing on paper or jumping from one sofa to the other!

He's currently asleep in my hood! Aw............. SO cute!!

Awwwww.... Nothing comes close to the joy of having a kitten around:)

MAB83 · 22-12-2009 1:54pm

Show us a pic? I've had cats all my life, love them.

Oh lord above SO CUTE! God aren't kittens just wonderful? They make the world a better place.

ant043 · 22-12-2009 5:18pm

God i hate cats but congratulations op. Dogs are a much better pet imo.

sweet-rasmus · 22-12-2009 5:37pm

he is adorable

jd007 · 22-12-2009 10:17pm

Anyone else ever get a piece of string and let the kitten keep running around after it, clawing at it? Hours of entertainment!!!:pac:

Basq · 22-12-2009 10:24pm

Best of luck with him Lillylilly.

I grew up with cats... they are fecking great..!

Girlfriend's not a big fan of cats though so we had to settle with a dog... but he's a little legend though!

Was never a big cat person, until I visited my cousin in South Shields back in August. His fianceé's sister was looking after two little kittens, and I have to say they were just the loveliest, cutest little things I'd ever seen! So playful and funny.

Kittens are awesome!

GLaDOS · 23-12-2009 3:59pm

Very similar colouring to my cat

I LOVE kittens thats why I now have five grown up cats

He's a lovey just make sure you take loads of pictures while he's a baby cos you'll really regret it otherwise.
Hey a kitten photo thread would be a really good idea for this forum whatcha's reckon?

meoklmrk91 · 25-12-2009 10:13pm

I love my cat to bits, I've had her six and a half years. I wasn't a big cat person until I got her and now I wouldn't be with out one. Oh yeah and the neighbors kitten may or may not be asleep on my bed right now

, I just think it's too cold for the poor little thing to be outside.

Sapsorrow · 25-12-2009 11:04pm

Here are some of my toerags...

I've been inthe same dilema for the last few years, I decided to leave her with my parents even though she is huge by them and all my cats are super sleek because they don't like moving house very much and I wasn't very settled at the time and I lived in the city and my parents live onthe side of a mountain in the stix. Now that I am settled she's just to old for the stress.

Maybe they're feeding him cheap cat food, my mum buys the lidl stuff and Its way worse than the expensive brands. You could always go to the vet and buy the weight loss cat food and just leave stacks of it at your mums and keep the supply stocked up whenever you visit and he may lose weight then.
Maybe no ones playing with him anymore now you're gone and he's just not getting any exercise. Locking them outside (during the day) when the weather's good helps too cos they get bored and eventually go off wandering and burn a few calories.

Congrats OP. Getting a cat was the best things me and my OH ever did. He brins so much joy to our house and makes it feel like a home. We love him to bits and he is the most spoiled cat in the world. He has eaten nothing but ham and chicken the last few days.

His birthday is on the 3rd January and he'll be turning one, so no longer a kitten anymore. My OH said to me the other day, he'll always be my kitten!

Was that necessary? This is supposed to be a happy forum. I don't think telling someone who is excited that they got a kitten that you hate cats counts as happy. Please read the forum charter (short as it is!)

Magenta · 03-01-2010 12:26am

I love kittens, could sit watching them play for hours!!!
You never realise how much you tap your foot or fidget with your hands til you get a kitten... you're sitting there watching TV and next thing kitty pounces!!! Ha ha ha! If only they stayed kittens forever... though the curtains would never last if they did

Dudess · 03-01-2010 12:30am

Oh he's a little beauty OP - love his blue eyes.

I love cats - and adore kittens. They're amazing and hilarious!

I so know what you mean.

I hand reared 5 of them once and it was better than any cartoon, watching all the antics they got up too.
Including running up each leg of my jeans when I finally got them onto solid food and they copped the clink of the saucers meant food.

Thomas828 · 13-01-2010 6:11pm

It's remarkable how kittens can make even the most solemn people light-hearted. All your gravitas goes out the window. Unless you're a real cat-hater, there's a part of you that a kitten reaches that nothing else can! Toddlers are just the same.

I disagree they're not fluffy so no comparrison imo!

Ruthie-Roux · 03-02-2010 12:02am

Awwwwww. I wish I had a cat. Been on the verge of getting a kitten myself actually but there are four huge barriers:

1--I have asthma and cat hair gets me coughing like nothing else.

2--I live in a tiny bedsit (its temporary I swear....)so no room for a cat

3--The landlord would have a fit.

4--I hate housework of any sort, so cleaning up cat poop would be a job that would need to be passed on to somebody else--anybody but me.

I love the fact that a part of them does stay 'kitten'. My 13 year old lazy lump of a cat can hardly make it up the stairs some days. I run around after a wind-up mouse while he watches disinterestedly. Then he'll find a button or some arbitrary object and chase it around like a maniac, batting it and skating across the laminate floor, turning somersaults as he goes.

(then he'll get tired and need a fourteen hour nap to recover- oh to be a cat!)

watna · 03-02-2010 1:36am

My cat made me laugh so much yesterday. He has a toy mousie that he loves. He brings it to bed with him and carries it around the house wanting you to play with him all the time. Mousie has been missing for quite some time and I found him under the bed. He was overjoyed to be reunited with his mousie and spend the whole evening throwing him up in the air. Then he slept with his paw around it!

He makes me laugh and smile more than anything else. Cats really are the best!

Cheers.. and he's barely grown since that.

Here's 2 photos of him taken last week (after being groomed) on my MacBook (the tilted head in the first photo is him responding to the noise the MacBook makes when it takes a photo):
