Hi everyone,
I just got a 2-month-old male orange and white kitten two days ago. His name is coffee. He is so affectionate and I love him immediately. But I am not quite sure if I should let him continue with his behavior. These are the behavior that I am not sure if I should attempt to change:
1) He seemed to treat me like his mommy. He tried to groom me by licking my neck, face, and hair. I prepared some comfortable places for him to sleep, but he ended up choosing my neck the place to sleep. Problem is the hair get into my nose and the paws are on my face. I also don't get good sleep. I either don't change my posture during the sleep, which results in back pain or change my posture but then both of us would wake up. Should I and how can I get him to sleep at his own place? The other thing is that I and my boyfriend can't sleep alone since he is always be in between us
2) He follows me around and demands attention. It is very hard for me to cook or watch TV because he wants me to play with him. If I need to do something on my own, he will meow constantly. I am afraid the neighbor would complain and that all of us would be kicked out.
I think that his behavior is nothing abnormal but needs for nurturing. Therefore, I don't know if I should allow him to do so and wait until he grows up to change. What do you think? Appreciate your help!
