lol... okkkkkkkk... Thank you for taking time to post that for me... First of all, nothing I said could be taken as my "wanting an ornament" and I adopted my kitten from a situation it was much worse off in, not bought... My pet is running around my house scattering trash everywhere, damaging my furniture, and keeping me up crying when I have to be at school full time the next morning. Not only did I ask for advice on what I could do to comfort her when she gets lonely, I also happen to know that not wanting your pet who's been scrambling in her litter box around where I prepare my food is a common and very valid reason to ask for help. And when I say she does it repeatedly, I'm talking over and over while I'm in the same room... I pick her up and put her on the floor, 30 seconds she's back (and I know because I've timed her). My punishments are an attempt to instill good behavior so she's tolerable to live with (and I happen to know they are not only mild, but recommended by every vet and pet website for her behavior I have checked), which she is not at this time. And I have never treated my pets with anything but love and affection. I have had 3 cats, one I spent over $1000 on in surgeries when it had cancer and which died as a kitten, one that lived for 19 years, and now Lily. She eats $20 bags of health food guaranteed to have no animal by-products, has been spayed, has all of her shots (including the boosters), is tagged, has tons of toys carpeting the ground, and is picked up and cuddled and petted and massaged by everyone who sees her. She left wanting for nothing but my attention which unfortunately can not belong to her 24 hours a day. Secondly, kittens are missbehaved all the time (I believe that IS the time they're most playful and mischevious). That's the stage you're supposed to teach them how to behave! AND... When someone asks for advice, that's usually not an opportunity to blast them on not taking care of their pets, if you don't have advice, don't bother responding in the first place (or try to actual read the words said instead of assuming things you clearly have no experience with or knowledge of).

Now... If anyone has any real advice on how I can help my kitten with it's loneliness so I can sleep or how I can teach her it's not ok to claw my brand new furniture and mattresses and why she shouldn't jump all over the counters I'm making food for myself to eat, I would be most appreciative. And yes, I have also tried positive inforcement such as treats and petting her when she calms down or getting her a new toy to amuse herself with.
