I got my two kittens, Harvey & Pebbles (brother & sister) before Christmas and they are 9 months old. Harvey is a Daddy's boy and will snuggle up on my bed for his cuddles and purr like mad! His sister Pebbles, a Calico is much more aloof and will want to be stroked when she says so.
This is the thing, they both LOVE Sara my house mate and will always go to sit on her lap ignoring me, especially Pebbles (see my other thread about meowing outside her room). She NEVER and I mean NEVER sits on my lap when we're hanging out in the lounge and the same goes for him really. I give them their food, they sleep on my bed most of the time and it's me who looks after them (I can't believe I'm writing this!)
I just wonder if I'm doing anything wrong. Am I stroking them too much? Am I giving them too much attention to force the issue? How come my kittens (esp. Pebbles) won't want to sit on their Daddy's lap?! I know it sounds pathetic, but It sort of bugs me when my flatmate gets more love from my kittens than me!
Am I being stupid? Is there anything I can do, or not do to change things? Have any of you ever felt the same feelings?
Many thanks in advance... a proud an worried parent!!
