My kitten is obsessed with me...

Will this fade?

Had her nearly 5 weeks now and it's getting worse.

She came from a local rescue and had been hand reared so was extremely loving and friendly from day one. Never showed any sign of being nervous about the new house or me and the kids being unknown. She will happily sit on strangers laps etc.

The problem is that she follows me everywhere. She's very very vocal too! She pitches a huge fit outside the bathroom if I dare to shut her out.

She has to sit on my chest the very second I sit down -she is there right now as I try and type around her! Cute when she was teeny but suffocating a bit now.

I have been placing her on my lap or next to me on a pillow but she won't give up. I did it straight for 30 minutes this morning and she showed no signs of taking the hint. If she wants me to stroke her she will paw at my hand and nibble me everytime I stop.

She howls when I leave the house and if I leave the room rushes after me meowing.

I have a Felliway plugged in because we have an older cat who was initially a bit annoyed she was here so thought that might ease the transition a bit. She is not that fussed with the resident cat - lays with him and occasionally tries to play but he isn't keen and stomps off bless him! He's isn't mean and she doesn't seem scared. He's never in during the day because he's not loyal and prefers my elderly neighbours sun room

I love her to bits but I would like to sit down without a moutfull of cat hair and sleep without waking with a start to find her half on my face...

Will it fade? It seems to be getting worse....

Oh I chat t both cats all the time.

I'm often saying to the kids "No, I wasn't talking to you, I was answering the cats"

Today she is happy because I have hurt my foot so I'm pretty much glued to the couch. I have a feeling I am going to pay for this though!

My kitty boy follows me from room to room and protests loudly if I attempt to visit the loo without him. I would prefer he did not sit in my lap whilst I was going about my business but he has boundary issues.

Your girl is gorgeous and appears to know she is well loved. Would that all cat's be that blessed..

Ah mine is same - half Siamese (mum is Chocolate point and Snowshoe cross) - follows me EVERYWHERE outside bathroom and when my mum visits to feed him lunch does same to her....

Bit strange as I had 2 others with a taste of the Orient about them and they were followers but nowhere near as bad as this new one! Who's just 6 months I think.

My girl kitten is similar, it gets to the point that I can't even sit on the loo without her getting on my lap Grin

She has got a bit better since being spayed....
