I got my kitten a few weeks ago, and she seems to have fallen in love with the next door neighbour. The girl next door is only thirteen or twelve, and for as long as I can remember she's loved cats but her parents won't let her get any, so naturally, when I got one she was super excited because there was a new kitten in the neighbourhood. I allowed her to pet it and play with it within the first week, and from then on it just constantly waits for her. Every day the cat will hide in a new place, trying to sneak into the neighbours house. If there are no windows open she will wait for the neighbour to get home from school so whenever she opens the door she can sprint in as soon as possible. I'm not blaming the girl for any of this- she's only young, and she isn't feeding it and whenever she sees it in her house she will always return it immediately. It's barely coming home because it's always waiting for the girl, and since the girl likes to spend a lot of time outside I'll see her petting the cat and it just seems to love her more than anyone else in the world. Do I just get used to my kitten loving someone else more than me, do I let the girl spend more time with th kitten? They both seem to be very happy together, but to be fair it's like my baby so of course I'll want to keep her and cuddle her. Do I lightly let the girl down and ask her to stop petting my kitten so much? Should I keep the cat inside and let her become an indoor cat?
