How do you handle your kitten

We have 2 kittens and a young cat tearing through the house at the moment; I do often lose my mind just listening to them! My kids try to play with them to tire them out but it doesn't matter; they still seem to get into EVERYTHING. But, they will outgrow it, so just hang in there!

I had four kittens at once, and was trying to get through college. I would have to leave my house to study! They drove me stark raving mad! I opened a book, at least 2 were on it and trying to flip the pages for me (lol) someone getting on the desk and knocking stuff off it(that is how Stinker got his name) running about like crazed kittens on caffeine! When I got annoyed, I would just leave for a bit. My, what fun times! In about 2 years they will settle down enough to be manageable. Until then, may God bless you with extra strength sanity and wisdom.

Let me just say for that record that Ella is cute, and that you always want to have toys for them, plenty of food, places for them to play, places for them to sleep, and you want to make sure that they are litter box trained. I have had cats, four in all, for nearly 16 years now, and it gets easier as they grow older, but I do miss the kitten stage. When they were kittens you could teach them anything and train them to do just about anything, and as they grow up, that becomes much harder to do. Enjoy them while they are kittens because this is the best time to teach them things.

We have two kittens in the house now. They are adorable of course, but so naughty. Well kittens are like that anyway. They will pulled anything that hang - wires and even clothes hanging on the drying rack. They even chased my mom's chicken. I felt sorry for the chicks. But since they're small we have to be careful not to step on them. So I put collar with a bell on each of the kitten. If they're wrecking the house then I'll just put them outside. Though that will be bad news for the chicken.

Cats can be trained not to get into trouble. However, kitten are very active, and you have to be paicent with them. They are going to wonder around, they are going to want to know what is what. And, you can train them, but don't expect things to change overnight. Try to give them as much freedom as possible, and limit what you restrict. Put the bookcase and what no in a room you can seal off when you're not around to watch them. And, keep your eye on the rest of the time. Be consistant with them until you see the behavior has stopped completely. Don't slip even if you see improvment. Cats will be quick to revert otherwise.

I can't have anything nice around my house. My cats, who go wherever they want, will knock down anything that gets in their way. (Actually, I have to admire them for that.) They knocked down, and broke, my coffee pot once. I try to be patient because I realize they cannot understand that they are doing something wrong. And I can't stop them because they move too fast. But I don't like it like this. I still haven't figured out the solution.

Just remember that one day they will be old, fat, and lazy, and will ignore you when you try to get them to play.

Hi! I love cats too. They don't love bells. They love to play with dangling clothes and other stuffs that have movement. I let them sleep outside so they won't poop inside the house. It really smells bad.haha

They are so funny! I love kittens. I used to have cats when I lived by myself. Now that I live with my daughter and her hubby I can't have a cat. I sure do miss having a cat. I had to give my kitten away ... luckily another mylotter has her and is a great mommy to her.

Hey there sassybrat, I love cats not as much as dogs but i do love them, before we had cats but they kinda passed on since they were very old and some we have let go of (for good reasons) before my cats just go home when they need to the whole day they are just lying around playing with any clothes on the clothes line jabbing at it, they were nice to have unfortunately i leave in an apartment that does not allow pets like dogs and cats I only have barry my fish.
