How can I make my cats like me more?

After having the worst year of my life I brought 2 ragdoll kittens into our home 3 weeks ago, they are 23 weeks old so not teeny tiny kittens. My OH would not want any pets given the choice but I felt strongly about having pets and so, he had no choice. He vowed not to have anything to do with them what so ever and spent the first two weeks totally ignoring them. Even now he barely looks at them but will occasionally tell them to stop scratching the sofa.

Obviously the cats adore him and only look my way when I feed them. They occasionally come my way for scritches but it's him they wany really. Why don't they love me? I'm their food/poop slave and I know its early days but how can I make them like me more?

Your kittens are beautiful! No tips but just to say same here!! If I was to be generous I'd say our girl-cat likes us almost equally, but my DH still has the edge!! But our boy-cat is devoted to him and only looks my way when he's out.. He works from home and I think they just love his company.. whereas they seem to hold me responsible for the kids' chaos!! Grin Cats will be cats!! (But are worth it Wink) Yours look so lovely and relaxed. Enjoy!
