Things you're happy your cat grew out of.

Title says it all:

1.  Sleeping with his body curled around my neck.  My neck would get so hot and he was getting heavy.

2.  Begging for my food, and sticking his nose in it.  We didn't train him, one day he just randomly stopped.  Thank goodness.

3.  Meowing inside the litterbox until I got up and watched him go potty.

4.  Sitting and meowing at the edge of the bed until I picked him up and put him up there (thank goodness he got older and can get up there himself).

My little guy is only eight weeks old.. There's a couple things I wish he would grow out of, well sort of - when the bedroom door is closed, he sits outside and throws a complete tantrum. He claws at the door and cries like he's being murdered, until someone comes out and gives him the attention he wants.

That's the main thing really, lol.

When we first got our cat Rico at 12 weeks, he was scared and nervous.  He had a bad case of diarrhea--we couldn't believe that smell came out of such a cute little guy.  We called him Reeky Rico and Stinky Rico.     

Fortunately after a few weeks, he settled down and we didn't have that problem again.  

I'm glad my cat no longer shows the slightest interest in chasing or biting electrical cords.

Aside from that, he never did have any bad habits, though he does like to play "ring around mamas foot", which I could live without, as he always ends up nipping me.

That's another thing, Loki likes to go behind the tv stand and play with the cords back there, I have to chase him out of there a couple times a day. 

He's so bad. Well that's kittens for ya.. lol!

Mine are only 9 weeks old, so they haven't grown out of anything yet and still have lots to explore and get into but I'm looking forward to them growing out of climbing the couch instead of jumping up onto it.. I'm sure they can make the jump but they're just too scared to try and it's a new couch set so I'm always rushing to redirect them!

They're really well behaved compared to some things I've heard about kittens doing though *knocks on wood*

... chasing my feet  (I´ve learnt the signs that she wants to play- and have MANY toys- could open a toy-store??), she was the worst doing this when she was 7-9 months. Now she´s 2 years.

I wish she learnt how to open doors that she closed (almost) behind her.... she can wait patiently for me to open the door that she closed......

Biting my feet! Aya did this as a kitten. She was a stray I found abandoned and in the middle of the street so she never had a Momma cat to teach her manners. Once she moved to the Us with me and has a whole house plus yard and field to explore my toes became less interesting. When she was a kitten my feet looked like somebody had been at them with a micro-stapler. Itsy bitsy vampire kitten!

Scratching on glass door to go out, I stopped letting her out at age 6, one year ago!
