Как правильно играть с котёнком?
Sooooooo we were able to pick him up right before I picked my daughter up from school yesterday & her reaction was priceless!! I have a few questions for you cat lovers… do you let them roam around yourhome at night as kittens while you’re asleep or are they put in a separate room/crate? Also is it normal for him to kinda force himself on me so I can pet him but he also digs is nails into me as I’m petting him lol.. so idk if I’m doing this wrong or what 😂

Him forcing himself on you while petting just means you’re getting the good spots! 😂
And do you have any other pets? That would depend on if you let little one wander the house at night. I always have. But my youngest 2 cats both somehow always slept through the night, so it wasnt an issue. One always slept right between mine and my husband’s pillows on the bed all night, and the other slept all night on a jacket on top of a short shelf. 🤷🏻♀️ Though my third oldest cat - he was an entirely different story. He would run through the house and swing on the curtains all night long. 🤣 It just depends on the cat.
Anyways, I would try to find a cozy spot, like a soft blanket or a cat bed for the baby to sleep on in your room for the first few nights until he adjusts, unless you have a big dog or something that you worry about getting to him, then I would put him in a kennel at night at first.

@dope.ass.mom, That’s a good idea! How did he do last night?

so he kept trying to get into my youngest daughter’s crib(her crib is right next to our bed) which scared her so I ended up putting him in his crate & he slept great but I want to let him roam around & cuddle with us in bed at night so idk what to do.

It just takes time. He’ll get used to things soon!

He's so freaking cute!! You're hitting the right spots rubbing him. 😂 for a few nights I crated my girl at night with a litter box, bed, and food and water bowls. I was scared she'd try to get into something or try to chew cords only because she was an outside cat before we brought her in.

When we get a kitten, my standard process is they share a room with a human for a few weeks and that’s the only room they’re allowed in. I block off all the small areas I don’t want it to go into or under just for safety when I can’t be in the room all day. We always have other pets so this is how we allow all the animals to get used to each others scent but keep them separated and safe. Since this is your only pet, I would keep him in a bedroom with an adult at night for a bit. How many weeks old?
And it sounds like he’s making bread on you. He looks like a cutie

Aww he’s adorable.
Yup that’s totally normal, that’s what cats do! That means he likes you and wants you to pet him. The nail thing he is doing is called “kneading”.

He loves you! I’ve never crated kittens they always sleep at night mostly anyways. They need access to litter box at all times. If there’s an issue with crying at night, get a small stuffed animal for him to cuddle with
