4-5 month old kittens, dsh.
I am the one who feeds, trains, cleans litter box, fills water bowl daily, gives treats plays and cuddles with the cats in my house but lately i noticed some weird behavior theyre fine when im home alone with them and get very cuddly but when other people are home they won't follow me nor come near... I don't understand it, they have been getting closer to my brother but he never spends time with them nor assists any of their necessities, the other day they sat around everyone but me and i felt weird, as if i was doing something wrong but im putting as much effort as I can into this cat-owner relationship i really dont know what i am doing wrong, the worst thing i could have done is picking them up and putting them next to me but I don't force them to stay, if they dont wana be picked up i leave them be Or thd fact that i force them to gst back in when they have been outside for too long. They don't get excited to see me after being out for hours which is weird because before theyd be waiting in the door even if i was gone just for 20 minutes.. is this a teenage cat behavior or?? Anything would help, I want to know if i am doing anything wrong but i kinda doubt it??
My father always forces my cats to stay with him and picks them up when they dont want to / annoy them in sleep until they run away and then picks them up
My mom yells at and scares them if they missbehave
So im just unsure??
