Umm no it wasn't directed at you, I just don't like posts like "Are you sure you want to keep the cat/s", "why don't you give them to someone else" etc cause obviously if I didn't want a cat I wouldn't have let any in my house, let alone spend money to buy them a litter box, litter, food, toys etc. And I wouldn't have been on this forum. Those comments are just rude and do not help my case or the topic.
I'm sorry. I don't know if you were interpreting my post as mean, but I didn't intend it to be. I have a 1 year old cat now, and it's really hard to maintain the kind of play schedule and energy he needs. I wish I had another young cat to play with him. I think he grew up an only cat, and he really doesn't realize when he's playing too hard and hurting me. I wanted to let you know that this can be an issue with raising an only kitten, so you might choose to keep two or at least be aware of what might happen.
I am aware of the boredom etc and I have plenty of time to play with the cat, even if I only keep one. I am gaining some experience while trying to entertain the mother cat, she doesn't treat her babies as fun to be with so I have to do something to keep her entertained. As for the hurting part while playing, I believe it's individual. Two of the kittens try to scratch and bite whenever I touch them, the 3rd won't put a paw on me (the one that is going to another family). And they're only 4 weeks old. Wonder what they will do when they grow up
