Totally worth it. Actually the first thing I do with my kitties is teach them to chill and accept belly skritches, I picked him and his sister up last Thursday and they already barely react to being tucked into the crook of my arm for belly rubs.

Both my kittens dig belly rubs. So did my previous two cats.

He's so cute, clearly you must be mistaken. Maybe some sort of predatory wild animal snuck into your room and started to attack you, but the kitten jumped in and scared it away so quickly that he was the only thing you saw.

We recently got a kitten. My legs look like I waded through piranha-infested waters. Cat people just know that being scratched all to hell is a price you must pay.

Don't let him sleep during the day.

If you keep on waking him up during the day, he'll be so tired at night that he won't bother you.

Now look at yourself in the mirror. Still cute? 🤣

Unfortunately yes, adorable.

I promise this will be my only comment in this sub but I have to say there is something very fucked up about cat owners. How fucked up does a person need to be to love an abusive pet? Literally this cat claw at you at 1:30 in the morning causing blood loss? Humans want to suffer, love to suffer. No wonder we will never mature as a species.

He's not abusive, he just doesn't know things yet. He's only 11 weeks old and he was just trying to play, he knows that when he plays with his sister they use claws and it doesn't bother them so why would it bother me? Now he knows I don't like it and he's already being gentler with me. It takes time to train pets and if you're going to keep them that's something you need to understand.

Don't feed the troll, they won't read your answer!

I promise this will be my only reply to you but I have to say there is something very fucked up about parents. How fucked up does a person need to be to love an abusive baby? Literally this baby punches you, bites your nipples until they bleed, and pisses, shits, and vomits all over itself and others? Humans want to suffer, love to suffer. No wonder we will never mature as a species.

We've only been domesticating cats for 10,000 years, dogs we've been doing it for 30,000. They're still relatively wild.
