Very Clingy Kitten!

Really getting fed up with one of my kittens, he's called floyd and has another sister called tabitha, who lives with us. The past week or so, when I come home from work he's REALLY clingy, if i leave the room he either follows me, or miaows from outside the door, and when i do give him attention, he will literally just sit with his head on my shoulder, me carryhimg him around the house, whilst he sleeps, or licks my ear, or just sits there! If i put him down he pines again!!!!

They both recieve plenty of food, and attention- i work long days (7-7) but spend most my time with them in the evening, and i only work 3 days a week anyway! I love him to bits, and when I can i'll give him attention, but he is being SO clingy!!!

Help!

Re: Very Clingy Kitten!

I wonder if leaving the radio on for them would help while you're out?

You're right, there. Sometimes I hardly know I have any cats, they're always out or lurking upstairs out of the way. Still, winter's coming, so I reckon the gas fire will lure them back into the sitting room any time soon.

Yes it's lovely, with you working 7/7 they do need a little bit of your attention.

Re: Very Clingy Kitten!

aww he sounds just like my Tia, she is always screeching if I leave the room and is my constant shadow! lol

Shes so cute though I dont mind at all, she has her brother there and my older cats but she just loves human company!

As others have said, there will come a time when they wont give us the time of day so Im just enjoying it at the moment!

Re: Very Clingy Kitten!

I have just taken in a stray young cat and she appears to have become a bit attached to me. she follows me everywhere at the moment, even waitied outside the bathroom today! i think it is sweet and your kitten sounds like he is a home-boy and enjoys human company. i havent really got any advice though, sorry!
