when your grandma lectures you when it ain’t your fault

We just got a kitten and she’s 6-7weeks. She’s been fine with everything except her litter box. It’s like she’s absolutely terrified of her litter box. It’s in a corner away from her food and we used kitty litter. She just got up and was meowing, I put her in the box myself and she absolutely freaked, so I left hoping that she’d go since nobody was watching but no. She just pooped on the floor 😭

I have no idea why she won’t use her box. I put her poop in the litter box and am hoping that she’ll smell it in there and go use it. But if anyone has any ideas as to why this is please help.

For context: This is her first night home, she was a stray, abandoned in a trash bin (not sure if that could be a reason), metal litter box (maybe she doesn’t like the sound?), Just had surgery, has a cone on (her box is open though so there’s no difficulty getting in or out of it)

Had this kitten in our backyard. Her mother gave birth to four here a couple of days ago. Took them all with her but left this cutie behind. Don’t know why that idiot had to do that. We tried to feed this one and give her warmth but nothing worked. She died today. Peacefully. Hope the rest of her kittens have a better life. Fuckin heartless mother…

So my brother is visiting for Christmas and he brought his new kitten along. She's almost 5 months old.

My dad and step mom had several cats over the years. Got 1 and 2 from my uncle, 2 died cause he got bit terribly, got 3, got 4, got 5, gave 4 away, 5 died cause of a car, got 6, got 7. This is over 10 years. They have experience.

He's been here for 3 days now. Today we were all watching a movie, and my step mom starts talking to my brother. She said it's important to remember to pet the kitten. She picks the kitten up while we were watching a movie and starts petting her.

I don't remember exactly what she said but she said it was important cause she's going to be an outdoor cat cause my brother said the kitten was gonna go outdoors eventually. She made a comment about him not knowing much about cats.

We're sharing the same room on the highest floor so when he came up to me when I was going to bed he said that he was gonna keep the kitten up in the room with the door locked on occasion. He says the kitten was being petted against her will. He said to keep this a secret or else it would turn into drama and he would have to leave.

What do I do? Who's right?

Well my little rebel called nala likes to play in cardboard boxes when able🥰

My little baby boys! I love them to pieces and on photo number 1 and 2 is Avi'el en photo number 3 is Shiloh. The last picture is of my late baby boy Kenwood of 19 years. 😘❤️

He’s already grown so much 😭 he’s about to be 6 months on Christmas and I got him at 7 weeks. He just healed from being neutered🥹 I already worry about losing him he means the world to me🩶

Hello everyone!

Happy to be here. We have a 5 1/2-month-old kitten who is incredibly intelligent, super active with boundless energy, and overall a very sweet little boy. He was neutered last Friday and is, fortunately, a very healthy cat.

He's quite talkative, which we love, but I've noticed something unique about him compared to our other two cats (whom I've had since they were kittens, too). He tends to vocalize his annoyance at almost everything (especially when he’s in a playful mood):

• Picking him up to redirect him to his scratching post? "Kekekekekek."
• Cleaning his eyes or ears? "Kekekekek."
• Patting his head to comfort him when he gets overly energetic? "KekekeNO-I-WANT-TO-PLAYkekekek."
• Playing with one of his plushies that "fights back"? "Kekekekek."
• Lifting him off the table (since he’s not supposed to be there)? "Kekekek."

Basically, whenever something doesn’t go his way or he can’t do what he wants, he makes his disapproval very clear.

As mentioned, he recently had a thorough checkup before getting neutered, and he’s perfectly healthy. He just seems to have little patience for things he dislikes.

Have any of you experienced something similar with your kittens? Our other two (one of a highly vocal breed) also had their preferences, but they never verbally “complained” about anything like this little guy does! He makes me really feel like a total buzzkill, haha.

Next month we will welcome 2 kittens in our home. It is the first time we will welcome kittens in our home since we moved.
For context, our house has 3 floors. On the ground floor, we have our open kitchen. With the stairs you will be able to go to the first floor which has our living room, guest room and 2 work rooms (with desk). These rooms are open and do not have a door. On the upper floor, there is our bedroom, bathroom and maintenance room. The bedroom is also open but the other two have a door.

I am wondering what would be the best way to make the kittens comfortable in this kind of house.

My boyfriend and I adopted a kitten Friday night. He’s settling in well and living up to the orange cat stories 😂

Just got home from playing MTG, Kitty jumped on my back and then the door ( took a while to get there off of there 😅

He is about to be 6 months on Christmas 🩶 my little Simba is growing so fast 🥹

Istg, are all orange cats like this? ???

This fuzzy dork jumped on my desk while I was away from my phone, walked across it, managed to take a picture of himself, and sent it to my entire Discord group chat ?????????? 💀💀

Timi, in her red and green Xmas collar, is superman flying with her back paws laid across my shin. Kami, with her candy cane collar, is rag dolling it bodily across my other shin.

Every few seconds someone twitches, flicks a tail, or turns an ear.

My toes have gone numb and I have to pee.

Send help.

This was supposed to be a Xmas gift from Santa Paws, but I'm just a big kid, so they got it early. They will play with this thing for an hour straight. It's motion activated, so I had to turn it off and take it away. It makes this squeezing mouse noise, which they live for!!! It's also rechargeable.
