Hi everyone,
I have a kitten that is 5 weeks old today. from the day she was born I ahve spent 5-10 minutes every day holding, petting and talking to her. I have 10 cats total but have never had a kitten before. She is quarantined from the other cats until she is old enough to come among them safely. About a week ago the kitten started crawling up onto my bed (since she is locked in my bedroom) and sleeping there. Now the only time she will get/stay off of the bed for any time is when she needs to eat. What I am worried about though is the fact that if her mother and I both walk into the room at the same time she will always come to me first rather to her her mother. I am worried that this might hurt the kittens relationship with her mother. Any help or advice here would be greatly appreciated. Oh, another thing of note, if I am not in the room with her she will sleep on my pillow or blanket and if I am in the room she will crawl up onto my shoulder and snuggle herself up against my neck which means that for the last week or so she has gotten quite a bit more than 5-10 minutes a day.
Thank you,
Eric
