Has anyone regretted getting a kitten?

[Foxton20]

Dcat has been here 3 weeks this week. She’s gone from kind and loving to an absolute beast. We play with her for a good 2-3 hours a day when she’s awake. We had da bird, scratching posts, mice etc yet she runs around constantly, biting our feet, and just being extremely hyper. Especially in the evening/before bed. I feel like I’m constantly playing with her.

She’s lovely and I love her but I think I rushed into it without really thinking about it.

She’s not going anywhere but I want to know I’m not alone 😩

Yes I regretted it but only because he gave us ringworm

My little ginger one was awful, we helped hand rear him and he came to us just before he turned 6 weeks. I really think he needed more socialising with other cats/kittens.

He was awful, bit and scratched us all really hard. Was constantly climbing up us with his claws and attacking us. All that stopped after we'd had him 3 weeks and got another kitten .

They do grow out of it at some point anyway but I'd never had one as bad as he was

kittens really need other kittens to play with.

you were told this in the thread you started at couple of weeks ago. are you going to keep starting new threads until people stop saying this?

She will calm down. My two used to run around like crazy all the time. They're now 18 months They will sometimes still playfight, but have calmed down greatly. Boris will sometimes have a mini play if I interact with him, but otherwise is very chilled. Ollie will initiate play by himself with toys, about once a week he squeezes down the side of the tv cabinet looking for trouble (looking doesn't get into any) and runs up the stairs sometimes.

It's all about fun and play. Obviously teach the children to interact properly so they don't cause stress, also if she's scratching a bit at the moment, then keep their faces especially away.

Absolutely agree to another one, this solved our biting kitten problem, they just bit each other (playfully) instead and used up their energy chasing about. If you do it whilst they're both young there's a good chance they'll get on. Mine adore each other now despite a bit of growling on introduction.
