Surviving Your First Kitten: A Crash Course

So, you just adopted a kitten and suddenly realize you’re living with a fragile, furry tornado. Here’s what nobody tells you: kittens are 90% fluff, 10% chaos, and 100% breakable. Rule one: don’t let toddlers near them—toddlers have the grip strength of tiny gorillas. Always approach from the side, like you’re sneaking up on a wild Pokémon. Never grab the scruff (you’re not their mom), and use both hands—one for the chest, one for the butt. If the kitten acts like you’re the villain in a horror movie, back off and try again later. Let them explore, but kitten-proof your place like you’re prepping for a baby with claws. Food, water, and a warm nap spot are non-negotiable. Playtime is essential, but don’t overdo it—kittens are Olympic-level nappers. And if you want them to trust you, keep your voice soft and your hands gentle. Survival tip: never underestimate the power of treats. #KittenCare #PetParenting #CatLovers #Pets #Cats
