  I didn't look for a cat, my cat looked for me. I found this little kitten abandoned and scared in a street in the city centre, a black tiny cat in a dark night. I asked him 'what are you doing here on your own?', he jumped on my shoulder and came home with me! He's almost 20yo now, my best friend, my son with a tail, my biggest love!

  I can't believe that cat wasn't considered 'cute" by someone.

  Tip about the scratching, next time you see her scratching on furniture, pick her up and bring her to her cat scratcher, then move her paws up and down the scratcher to simulate her scratching it, it worked wonders on my kitten when I got the idea!

  This is a tip for future cute kitten owners when u want to bathe them, grab them with a flannel or small towel so they dont scratch you and instead of putting them directly under the tap, use a cup and pour water slowly on them, make it as relaxing as possible and go slowly, they will panic but the more calm you are the clamer they will get 🙏 ❤️

  lil helpful tip here ! if you are adopting a new pet, try buying a medicine syringe for your pet and every few days or so fill the syringe with something like a treat (i use mashed bananas for my rabbit) so if your pet ever needs medication from a syringe, they won't try to avoid it because they'll associate the syringe with treats :) hope this helps (ty for 2.5k!)

  "Ugly" cats are a myth, there's not such a thing as an "ugly" cat

  Having cat that scratches you is the only toxic relationship worth staying lmao

  Tip from a person that&apos;s raised 15 kittens:<br>Do not introduce your kitten into a large space in your home immediately. Isolate your kitten in a small room like a bathroom so it can feel &apos;safe&apos; and less overwhelmed, and allow them to WANT to explore.<br><br>Edit: I should mention, you dont just leave the cat in there alone! Spend as much time in there as possible. Eat on the floor, read, play switch, whatever. If you have another room that is also small, like a small bedroom, this is also good. But bathrooms are usually the perfect size.

  The previous owner sounds so problematic/irresponsible. Did not spay/neuter cats, let kittens roam around &amp; get fleas, says the kitten isn&apos;t &quot;cute&quot;. Wth. That kitten is cute AF.

  Additional tips for others. If she had fleas, should’ve given her a bath first thing you brought her home. Then let her acclimate to a confined space such as the bathroom or bedroom before introducing her to the entire house. Cats aren’t like dogs, they feel more secure the longer they stay in a space.

  You’re making me realize how lucky I am with the kitty I found. &nbsp;She’s so easy going and I hardly have any problems with her going to the bathroom outside her box or her biting. &nbsp;She never chews on anything outside of her toys. &nbsp;She cuddles at night. &nbsp;She’s the sweetest thing. &nbsp;I found her in July. &nbsp;She was estimated to be 8 weeks and was feral. &nbsp;She was totally sick, full of worms and flea ridden. &nbsp;I got all the medicine with research and now she’s totally healthy and happy. &nbsp;I’m not a cat guy in the slightest, but this little girl won my heart. &nbsp;I don’t even have a name for her yet. &nbsp;I was considering “Velcro” simply because she needs to be near me when I’m home.
