We have a new 9 week old kitten (pics below). He was feral and two weeks later he's now the sweetest boy and I'm besotted with him.

He's the perfect lap cat but he just wants to sleep on my shoulder or around my neck! I love the snuggles but I can't hear the TV from his purrs! 😂 Why do they like this and is it normal?

He's absolutely gorgeous!
No advice really, just enjoy the love. 😻

It’ll keep you warm in winter!

Some cats like height. My Burm does this and it’s lovely but he’s like a panther and weighs a tonne! Weirdly he started doing it as an adult.

Stunning looking boy! What's his name OP?

CatNamedEaster · 08/10/2022 21:28

Oh wow he is super cute. Those pink paws, those huge ears......sorry what was the question? 😂

Cute, but claws!

He's called Teddy and he's just adorable!

Awww I had a Teddy many years ago. Is he your first cat? He’s really sweet and bonding with you.

Rosit · 08/10/2022 22:16

Just enjoy!! He is gorgeous! Cats vary so much in personality and it’s lovely to have a kitty that loves a cuddle.

Eightiesgirl · 08/10/2022 22:18

He is absolutely beautiful!

TheSausageKingofChicago · 08/10/2022 22:19

It’s your furry dressing gown. He thinks your his mum. Mine (now 6) turns into a big baby when I put my dressing gown on ❤️

BernardBlacksWineIcelolIy · 08/10/2022 22:19

lovely pictures OP, what a gorgeous boy. he's landed on his feet and is grateful to you (he isn't of course, but you can tell yourself that!)

DrMadelineMaxwell · 08/10/2022 22:25

Totally normal. Even when they are no longer kittens.

Enjoy your gorgeous cat!

Adorable!

Purring is better than TV!

DeanStockwelll · 08/10/2022 22:55

You have a living scarf , I am so jealous! My cat is quite antisocial the most affectionate thing he does is occasionally lie next yo me and put his paw on me.
Thus happens about once a week gor about 30 seconds then he leaps up and is off like he has been stung

My cat belle spent much of her life on my shoulder or round my neck, I was so used to it, I hardly noticed. There were some interesting moments when I opened the door to deliveries etc though.

you should train him to have his claws tipped every week if he is going to live there, though. Just take the very tip off with nail clippers . I clipped both my girls‘ every Thursday ( Friday we had two hours in the car,,so sharp digs not appreciated ) while they lay on my lap. We started early when they were twelve weeks, so they were totally used to it. They would stretch out their paws, when they saw the clippers!

We've only had one of our cats from a kitten but she used to snuggle right under our chins (as in multiple people's chins rather than multiple chins although that may also have been the case) I think she just liked the closeness as was missing mum cat. Now they all just sit on us wherever they feel might be the best spot for stealing food or getting strokes.

Lizzy1980 · 08/10/2022 23:02

Beautiful 😻 He obviously feels safe and comfortable with you. I’ve never had a kitten but both adult cats I’ve had have done this so I assume it’s normal??? Enjoy the love and turn the volume on your TV up

Sooo cute. And yes cats are an essential cost of living help. Who needs heat then you have a portable hot kitten to hug 🫂 🤗 😘

MsGrahamCheese · 08/10/2022 23:03

I luff him 😍

Soberfutures · 08/10/2022 23:05

Me on here being hugged.

watcherintherye · 08/10/2022 23:21

Here’s my neck hugger. Not so comfortable for long periods (for me, that is, he seems to be fine and dandy!)
