We have a 3 month old kitten, She used to be absolutely lovely to have... And now shes a complete bugger.

She crys none stop. If we leave the room, She crys. If we go bed, she crys. If we leave the house (i use software on my laptop via my smartphone to see the house) and she crys.

She is always crying, Always biteing (non playful).

She eats perfectly, She drinks perfectly, She uses the litter, She has toys, And she has loving people around her (me and my girlfriend).

But the crying is causing us stress, And causing us lack of sleep and i work nights.. so i cant sleep in the day.

Is there anything i can do to help this? We used to run to her if she crys.. And now we try not to. Has anyone had this before?

She left her mum at aged 4 weeks and we was told she was 6 weeks until we done the math.

Welome to the forum

Well I think you know the reason why she is like this .... far, far too early to leave mum.

A couple of things to try ..... A feliway plug in or pet remedy one. They do sometimes work for a stressed out cat

Another option to consider is maybe getting her a playmate, maybe she is just very lonely? Obviously this time getting one that is at least 12 weeks old and who could maybe teach her a few things!

Also have you had her checked with a vet? Just to make sure nothing is medically wrong with her.

Hey thanks for a quick post.


We had took her to the vet about 2 days after we got her, Which was a mission. lol And the vet said shes very small but very lovely. And no problems at all.

We are concidering getting another cat, But would it make matters worse? i think she probuly is lonely even though one of us is always there, Im here in the day, away at night, my gf is here at night away in the day.

I love her to bits shes a beautiful kitten. If i knew we was buying her to early i wouldnt of brought her so early. The owner said she was ready to go and she was at age to leave.

I have brought a feliway defusser on ebay £14 (pets at home were offering it for £30.) .. We will look at buying a cat today if we can. But worried if behaviours go double bad.

Thanks for replying,

Dan

Agree with the above way, way too young to have left mum, poor little thing Even 6 weeks would have been too young.

If you can get her a playmate, that would be great. If not, then it will have to be lots of attention and reassurance for the little kitten from you. You may also benefit from reading up on what kittens learn from their mother in the first 12 weeks as you are effectively going to 'play mum' to the kitten and pick these things up to make sure that the kitten's development stays on track and does not develop behavioural issues later.

No guarentees of course I wouldnt rush out and buy another one before you have done your homework.


I have just introduced a kitten into our household, and it's not easy!! Make sure you do plenty of reading up on how to introduce a new kitten, has to be a slow process. Always best to have a 'safe room' where you can put one of them if needed.

There are plenty of threads on here about how to do the introductions
