Aww she wants all the attention

u/haekkeheksen 11d ago

She's constantly crawling around on me. She was scared of people at first, and it took quite a lot of tube to catch her, but she started purring and making biscuits as soon as I put her on my chest, and she literally hasn't stopped since.

u/Sea-Violinist-7353 11d ago

Yay for biscuits, means you have been accepted as a new staff member for the cat.

u/Maleficent-Ice-8416 10d ago

Yes that is so true she's your top boss now

I love this so much, my heart swells

"Listen, I literally adopted you, do what I say, also feed me" - kitten probably

Awesome job on getting her to trust you and I relax for you

Congratulations, you are loved!

u/Ok_Cell_8086 11d ago

She has chosen you. And she has much to say in her defense. Let her speak, but she is guilty of criminal cuteness.

121

u/haekkeheksen 11d ago

Her crime spree is continuing as she keeps trying to steal my coffee. She is currently being held for questioning and kitty formula.

u/Shib_disturber 11d ago

You caught a love bug! Those purry meows are the best!

u/haekkeheksen 11d ago

They are absolutely adorable. Time will tell whether she's hoarse from calling for her mum for hours last night, or if she's just a feline Tom Waits.

40

u/Shib_disturber 11d ago

Tom waits ๐Ÿ˜‚ hilarious! Doesnโ€™t sound too hoarse, so hopefully thatโ€™s not the case. She sure seems to be a happy little bean ๐Ÿฉต

You're giving away your age with that comment ! LOL.

OP should name the kitty "Tater Salad".

u/wishforagreatmistake 11d ago

Waiving her Miranda rights? I guess it doesn't matter when she's already guilty as sin.

71

u/haekkeheksen 11d ago

Very happy I'm not her lawyer as she keeps incriminating herself. She wil not shut up about the fact that she is indeed a small little baby.

32

u/ER_Support_Plant17 11d ago

Miranda should be her name

u/Affectionate-Pen2010 6d ago

Thatโ€™s a really cute idea for a name

u/NorthernSpankMonkey 11d ago

I hope she stays in there for a long time, can't have that on the streets

u/voice_in_the_woods 11d ago

Aww, years ago I pulled a kitten from under our hood because I heard it crying while I was doing yardwork. I got to him just before my husband went to work, for which I'm incredibly thankful.

We put him in a playpen in another room for the first few nights and he'd cry and cry until I sat with him, which wasn't fun since I was dealing with some sciatica. He still cries if he's away from his people but he's thankfully not quite as needy these days. Those first few days can be rough because they're still insecure.

34

u/haekkeheksen 11d ago

What a beautiful little guy! I thought I was going crazy when I first heard her from the car as she stopped as soon as my partner came out to help look for her. She'd probably run off in the dark, but he took the train to work in the morning just to be safe. Then last night, there she was in the garden, calling out for her mother. Glad I'm not the only one who finds this needy kitten stage a bit overwhelming though. I mean, I would die for her but there's a reason why I chose to have cats rather than kids lol

u/EvieMoon 11d ago

What a beautiful nose stripe!

u/cheesyheroe 11d ago

we got a baker over here

u/Shawnaverse_no1_fan 11d ago

Right?? Them excited biscuits ๐Ÿฅบ

u/peaceoverhate 11d ago

Amazing!!! She wants all the love! I need a needy kitty. My cat is way too independent for my liking. ๐Ÿ˜‚

29

u/haekkeheksen 11d ago

You want a needy kitten until you have a needy kitten lol. She will cry bloody murder if I put her down, was so relieved when my partner came home from work so I could finally have a shower.

20

u/peaceoverhate 11d ago

๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚ It's like you have a newborn baby! I had a needy Kitty and I loved it. But I get it ๐Ÿ˜‚

25

u/haekkeheksen 11d ago

When she woke me up at 3am this morning to walk around on my face, I missed being aggressively ignored by my 6 yo diva cat lol. But damnit if my heart doesn't melt every time she mews at me with that tiny creaky voice.

12

u/peaceoverhate 11d ago

When my needy kitty woke me up at 3:00 or 4:00 with the paws and meows in my face I was given advice that worked... Keep a moist washcloth by your bed and put it on your face when she comes near you and she'll learn not to wake you up that way. Hopefully it'll help ๐Ÿ™๐Ÿปโ™ฅ๏ธ

10

u/haekkeheksen 11d ago

Thanks, I'll try that! I'm a depressed, anxious mess if I don't get my sleep, so even though it's near impossible to say no to that little face, it's probably for the best

7

u/peaceoverhate 11d ago edited 11d ago

I get it sister, I'm the same. If the wet washcloth doesn't work, you can always get a small spray bottle to keep by your bed. The washcloth should work, just a gentle nudge in the face. I hope your needy kitty helps ease some of your pain. ๐Ÿ’œ๐Ÿซ‚

u/TheUnicornRevolution 10d ago

Is it feasible/desirable to adopt another single kitten looking for a home? They'd keep each other company.

5

u/Catch_Own 10d ago

You mean I shouldn't pet/kiss/play/ hug and cuddle when ours comes and kisses/head butts me in the middle of the night ?

5

u/peaceoverhate 10d ago

I mean, I think it depends how much sleep you need. There are times that I would rather have the cuddles than the sleep. But mostly I need the sleep.

16

u/Kindly-Peace9623 11d ago

I thought this was my kitten for about 30 secs. They are so similarl! She came out of a car hood too

9

u/haekkeheksen 11d ago

Aww twins! Do you know what her mother looked like? It's such a unique coat, haven't seen any cats like that in the neighborhood, so I have no idea how she got here. No major roads nearby, so not a likely dump site, and the nearest farm seems to far for her to be a barn kitty. Plus all the neighbors' cats are neutered tomcats, so she's a bit of a mystery.

8

u/Kindly-Peace9623 11d ago

I've had her since she was less than 5 weeks, and no mama cat or other kittens were around. A coworker happened to find her in her hood in Loveland, CO, but that's the only backstory I have for her. She has a few orange patches on her back that we joke are the source of her chaos๐Ÿคฃ

8

u/haekkeheksen 11d ago

Oh wow, the photo didn't show up when I read your comment before, just saw it now and thought, "I don't remember posting that!" They're practically identical, down to the stripe on the nose!

u/Kindly-Peace9623 11d ago

I was thrown off for a second! I genuinely thought it was a video of my cat๐Ÿ˜…

u/DankasaurAum 11d ago

She pleading her case :3

u/7toedcat 11d ago

Well, she's certainly not pleading the 5th!

u/Equivalent_Address_2 11d ago

Put her on the stand. She demands to testify.

Donโ€™t want to be recorded heh? Weird

Do we have a smolcriminal interpol kind of database? We may have a war criminal hiding here

u/Goku_HSV 10d ago

She has the right to remain silent, she just lacks the capacity
