My 8 day old kitten loves me holding him but he meows and carries a fit untill my bf puts him down if he picks him up. When I pick him up or take him from my bf he quiets down. Why is that when we both have been around him since he was born he throwes a fit at my bf but comfelly layes on me and falls asleep but my bf has to put him on his chest and then he falls asleep but then wakes up 2 secounds later meowing and wanting too be put down but with me doesn't do that just let's me hold him and falls asleep on me.

The difference in your odors is what he is basing his behavior on.  Are you around the kitten all the time? Does the bf work with any chemicals? Or maybe where someone smokes?

No I am up for about 20 hours so I hold the kitten more than he does

no its just my sleeping habbits. My cat is a very good mother and she trusts me and my bf to hold him for a couple min and a small meow and she wants him back. We have had her threw her whole pregnancy and we think she felt abandoned when the lady brought her here that we got her from but felt safe when she realised that she was staying. But no he ain't bottle fed it just seems like he finds me and his mom more comferting than my bf

Tabby (name of mama cat) doesn't do anything but meow when she wants the kitten. I am just afraid to let our friends hold himm cause she looked alil startled when our friend petted her so I'm waiting a couple more days of him being around her to let him hold the kitten. I think it was the smell of my bf he was getting used to cause from day one I held the kitten and my bf refused to for 2 days cause he didn't want Tabby to get mad at him but he realised that she didn't mind. Now its time to get him to listen when I tell him to put the kitten down with her when she meows for the kitten cause she doesn't do any objecting except the ocasional meow she is so layed back
