AIBU to think little kittens are lovely?
YABU to demand that everyone else buys into your view of little kittens as lovely. You sound very controlling OP.

AIBU to think little kittens are lovely?
What is the point of your post OP? You either think little kittens are lovely or you don’t. How do you expect a bunch of random strangers on the internet to decide for you?

AIBU to think little kittens are lovely?
YABU, there was a post about this two days ago OP.

AIBU to think little kittens are lovely?
YABU to make a thread about little kittens when there are people struggling to pay their electricity bills. Check your privilege.

AIBU to think little kittens are lovely?
Unless you can produce statistics to prove little kittens are lovely, your POV is meaningless OP.

AIBU to think little kittens are lovely?
YABU and a misogynist to assume that just because someone’s a woman they’ll agree little kittens are lovely.

AIBU to think little kittens are lovely?
That’s funny OP, on another thread you claim to think little puppies are lovely. Which is it?

AIBU to think little kittens are lovely?
I feel sorry for your DC OP. They must feel very neglected knowing you love little kittens more than them.

Are you getting help for your anxiety OP?

BigChesterDraws · 10/10/2022 07:04

Only if they live rurally, earn 6 figures and have a hobby that can’t be revealed as it would be outing. Any other kittens have no place here.

Budgetdayblues · 10/10/2022 07:08

YABU and abit controlling.

Kittens are viscous little bastards.

Strawberrysundaeonamonday · 10/10/2022 07:11

I didn’t want to read and run. Hopefully someone will be along with the answer soon.

OP have you asked for this thread to move to Litter Tray instead of AIBU? You might get a more helpful response

Shamelessly marking place for the diagram, photos & deletion message

ButtOutBobsMum · 10/10/2022 07:22

YABU. You don't just get a kitten because it's lovely. A kitten is a lifelong commitment and should be taken very seriously. Have you had kittens before? If not you have no business getting a kitten as you clearly know nothing about raising a kitten. You are simply encouraging kitten farms and are part of the problem. Shame on you OP.

So true! There'd also somehow be a YABU - leave your OH cos it's that easy.

Move house too - because that is also apparently easy. See get a new job too.

You are being coerced by narcissistic little kittens into believing that they are lovely, when they are actually gaslighting, bird-murdering shits. Contact Women's Aid and LTBastards.

I approve of this post.

KermitlovesKeyLimePie · 10/10/2022 07:46

YANBU kittens are indeed lovely but I couldn't eat a whole one, especially with a massive salad and "picky bits".

BarbaraofSeville · 10/10/2022 07:55

YABU to spend more than 30p on kittens per week, I have 14 kittens and only spend 20p per week and I work full time

YABU to spend 20p per week on kittens, you must be feeding yours on carby rubbish because I can't feed mine for less than £8.50 each, because I prioritise good food for them.

You are being coerced by narcissistic little kittens into believing that they are lovely, when they are actually gaslighting, bird-murdering shits. Contact Women's Aid and LTBastards

Now that is true. If a partner behaved like the average kitten, or cat, people would be screaming LTB. <eyes one kitten who shits next to the freshly cleaned litter tray and the cat who will only eat her food if it is placed on the front door mat with the door open, and takes her sweet time about it, which means that I have to keep an eye on the wide open front door>.

littleburn · 10/10/2022 07:56

OP this is the third thread you've started about your kittens since August. What are you expecting to get from this?

WTAFSomedays · 10/10/2022 08:15

“Little kittens”. Aren’t kittens ‘little’ by definition?

Check your grammar and spelling else we all get fixated on that and miss the actual point of the thread.

EmmaH2022 · 10/10/2022 09:00

OP did you mean to be so rude?

KermitlovesKeyLimePie · 10/10/2022 09:20

Are you on glue?

Snowberry3 · 10/10/2022 09:22

OMG all that kitten poo spoiling the environment.
YA definitely BU

You sound like hard work 😉

Chikapu · 10/10/2022 09:35

Little kittens are indeed lovely, however, putting razor blades on their feet was a definite design flaw!

daisychain01 · 10/10/2022 14:54

Bumping this for you, OP.

PurpleDaisy5 · 10/10/2022 15:57

Why are you letting little kittens to treat you this way? That's abuse and controlling behaviour.

Arbesque · 10/10/2022 16:13

Have you nothing better to do OP?

Like go to a spa or take in some ironing or snuggle up on the sofa with your little family drinking hot choc?

Welcome to Mumsnet OP. Interesting first post.

TheGigglingGazelle · 10/10/2022 16:54

Loving the responses. Every AIBU trope in one handy thread. 😂

Kittens plural?

You can feed your whole family for the week on one roast kitten.

Karrots · 10/10/2022 17:21

"Kitten" is this a neo-pronoun or have you had a DNA sequence to check the right species so we know the feline is not in actual fact a canine?
