June of 2016 I lost my cat Caius in a tragic accident, i had raised her since the day she was born and knew i wouldn't be able to cope with the loss on my own.
So I started looking for a kitten shortly after losing her, I just needed something to cuddle with. A friend pointed me in the direction of a lady on Facebook looking for homes for 3 kittens, they were 8 weeks old. I immediately fell in love with one just by his picture, and knew he was the one I had to have. My step sister was going to take me to pick him up, and was also picking up a kitten for her boyfriends mother. We get there and I got my Crowley, and i was IN LOVE!! I took him home and introduced him to the family and my 2 pet ferrets, all was good, he was so loving and would go everywhere with me, for the first few weeks. A month after getting him I had arranged to take him and his brother in to get neutered, so his brother was coming to stay the night and go home after his procedure...so i thought. On the ride to the vet my sister informed that her boyfriends mother was thinking of releasing the kitten outside after he got home, because she didn't want him anymore. Iof course could not allow this to happen, so i told her that he'd be coming home with me, and that is how I got Aleister. They were typical kittens, fighting, playing, sleeping, and cuddling. I don't remember exactly when it all started, but I wanna say maybe around their 6 month mark or a bit older. Crowley was also very scared of everything, hairbrushes, cans of cat food, and many other things, which isn't all that weird. But somewhere in time, I think he has become scared of ME, and I don't know what I did to make him feel that way. Every once in a while he'll come up to me when i'm in bed and cuddle, but never for very long. If I try to pick him up he freaks out, and has scratched me in my face, and my eye a few times. When I leave he cries for me, and when he sees me through the window he gets very vocal, which is a mixed signal for me. He's a good boy, until I try to interact with him. Aleister does not act afraid of me, but he doesn't seem to care much for me at times, he will come up and rub on me, and show affection, but he does not cuddle EVER. He stays to himself when he's not in his rambunctious mood. He also does not like it when i pick him up, he doesn't act afraid of me like his brother does, but he obviously wants down. I am a very private person, and keep to myself, so I don't have many friends, i've always had animals to keep from being too lonely, ferrets are not typically cuddlers so that's what I had a cat for, something to lounge in bed with, and just be my friend. I love my cats, and my ferret more than anything in the world, and I spoil them, and spend more than enough time with them. I've had my boys for almost 1 1/2 years and I really just want to know why they don't seem to like me. I know cats are fickle creatures, but of all the cats i've had in life, and there have been many, these 2 are the only ones that have been like this. I just wanna be able to give my cats affection. I know this was probably really long, and I appreciate anyone who takes the time to read and help. I just want to make my boys happy, and not feel like they hate me, cause it doesn't feel very good. I'm adding pictures that show them from kittens to adults, and one picture where i woke up to Crowley basically sitting on my face, with the most evil expression on his face, lol.
