Collected our kitten on Thursday night, he was extremely timid

Are you sure it's not deaf?

So what you mean to say is it's a moggy and you're a special snowflake

has he been checked out by the vet?

that's not really normal, but all kittens are different. how old is he? he's likely meowing because he's still very young so he's calling out so his mother knows where he is. insecure kittens tend to meow a lot, or he could just be talkative.

Does it really matter? Isn't your post a tad aggressive and not all that helpful? I mean is that one of his parents was a purebread ragdoll, one was a purebread bengal, both of which have extremely distinctive traits, which may have effected the answer. I can't see how that is me trying to be a "special snowflake".

Always assumed this was one of the nicer boards but I guess you're one of those edgelords who loves to try and be as mean as possible. Hope that's working out for you.

Pretty sure he's not deaf as he responds to his name and the vet didn't pick anything up (although I'm not sure if they check for this during general health checks). Thanks for your suggestion anyway.

Yup, he's healthy as can be. He's using the cat litter box, eating well, sleeping and playing as he should. He's just really fond of meowing all the time.

We've started talking back at him which might be encouraging him because he knows it gets him attentions. Although perhaps you're right about his age - he's only around 9 weeks and was the first to leave his litter. Maybe he's happy but confused about where his brothers and sisters are.

yeah he's probably just settling in still and looking for his family. he should be meowing whatever a normal amount is for him within a week.

it's funny how much different kittens meow though. my younger kitten will meow at everything but my older one meows maybe once every few days. just depends on personality.

Thanks for the advice :)

It's cute and I've always had vocal cats so it isn't a problem. I just wanted to make sure he was okay and I wasn't ignoring something.

He's also extremely close to my partner and I already - he cleans himself on us, rubs against us, sleeps on us, follows us round etc. Is this normal after just a few days?

I was just thinking about it. I don't know anyone over 25 that has gotten a new cat. Some have cats at 40, but they've had them for 20 years. What's with kids and pussy?

Well, maybe you need to give it a little more time, it honestly sounds like something that the cat will grow out of.

>Always assumed this was one of the nicer board
Yeah, about that. You see you're still on 4chan so you should expect some cancerous behavior, not to mention aggressive posts are also a result of the anonymity. Add to the fact that many people on /an/ have a hatred of outside cats and are very vocal about it. While posters who adore cats see this negativity towards their breed of choice they respond in kind, and a heated discussion follows. While all this is completely normal, the problem occurs when trolls see the reactions generated by the "catfags" and realize they can get the same thing just by being assholes everytime a cat is brought up. Of course even on an animal and nature board there are still people who just can't stand cats, and are very vocal about it. They are entitled to their opinions, and as long as you are participating in a discussion about it you should expect it, albeit you don't have to like it, but you are also entitled to your opinion and can reply as you see fit.
So basically it is either a troll who is just trying to get a rise out of you (which was successful) or somebody who hates cats and thought they would let you know. Either way it's still part of board culture, and business as usual. Thanks for playing.

It doesn't seem like it, but that usually means he's insecure- which is totally find and to be expected at his young age right after being separated from his family!

>>2259311
Maybe you don't know that many people over 25?

Bengals are known to be extremely talkative cats, especially when they are young. Lots of meowing from a breed so talkative at the kitten stage isnt something to be worried about.

The toes.

Ragdolls are quite affectionate cats, so he's probably got that from his ragdoll parent

He's probably just a talkative cat, OP.

My friend adopted a kitten when he was 13 weeks old and he was VERY clingy from the beginning. Super confident, affectionate and constantly meowing/purring. He's 3 years old now and that hasn't changed.

>pic related him being seductive

He probably has Toxoplasmosis so get ready for bugs living in your brain lol

If you think that was bad, go back to Red dit and don't come back. You can't honestly expect people to cater to your every whim and behave like the nicest people you ever met.
For you to think that was bad is pathetic, go ask about your mongrel somewhere else so you can be safe in your "safety bubble"

Maybe you should go back to tumblr hugbox buddy
