    So my Bella is now 3 and a half months old. Still an aggressive terror at times but slowly settling. My question is, do kittens only bond with one person?
    Bella adores me. Sleeps on me while I’m watching tv, suckles on my dressing gown as soon as I put it on (she only uses my dressing gown and I need to be wearing it), follows me to the bathroom, if I go out on to the balcony and don’t let her out she screams, constant head boops. Now my boyfriend only gets love from her if I’m at work. If we are both home she will play with him or sleep next to him on the lounge but me she has to sleep on my chest as close to my face as she can to give head boops while she’s falling asleep. If I move her to my boyfriends lap, she comes straight back to me. Has she bonded with me and not him and how can we get her to see that he loves her just as much as me?

    Thanks

    Well Danni, I think as she get older things may change a bit–or not. 😉 I have 4 inside cats and they are all MY babies. I mean, they love everyone else, and the ones that like laps will lay on my hubby’s lap or chest while he’s in his recliner, but they know me as their mother. I suppose I should mention that they are all hand reared bottle babies and that’s what I am to them. There’s nothing wrong with what she is doing, but you are her Meowmy and she loves you and she’s just letting you know. 😀

    Kittens can bond with everyone in your household, or your friends, but just like humans, they may just love some a little more than others 🙂 Especially, like Kittyzee said, if you bottle fed them or saved them or whatever. I miss being my little baby’s Meowmy (as Kittyzee put it, love that expression :)) so, so much since he’s gone, I’d give nearly anything to have that bond again. So, on the off-chance that at some point she’ll change one day and be less focused on you, I’d suggest you enjoy it as much as you possibly can. Unconditional love like that is just beautiful and nothing to worry about <3

    Thank you guys. I love it (except for the soaking wet dressing gown after she suckles) but my poor partner feels so unloved lol.
