Answer 1

There are two reasons this could be. The first is the fact that the kitten is still unsure of its environment and is lost" and can't figure out where people are. But from the sounds of this, it's far more to do with wanting to be with you since it sees you as its friend, playmate and owner. If you have only one kitten - you may want to consider a 2nd around the exact same age to add a companion to his or her life. If it's a male - get a female. And if it's female, get a male. But - of course - make sure you spay and/or neuter your kittens at 6 months old to make sure you don't have any EXTRA kids running around in a few months!

To me this sounds like your litle friend is just attached - and if you don't do something soon it could end up suffering from separation anxiety - which one of my cats had even despite having a playmate. The trouble was, they were two females and they didn't like one another.

I currently have three - one boy and two girls. The boy and one of the girls are both 2 and adopted at the same time from the same shelter. The 3rd is a 5-month old kitten that may be female but acts very "male" in the way she rules over the house. She has taken the power away from Cupid, my 2-year old boy, but he's so stubborn that he fights to get it back all the time. They are the best of friends now and love each other to pieces and protect one another. And Vixen, my other 2-year old, loves her new sibling (Miracle) because now Miracle fights with Cupid more and that allows Vixen more time to be by herself without being involved in play until she wants it.

You just have to be smart in your choice - get a kitten that will add to the house and benefit your current child. He/she might outgrow this - but it doesn't sound like it.

Answer 2

Reads almost what I went through. My youngest kitten seemed to be set upon by an older kitten. She would scream bloody murder. But as soon as she was released by the older kitten she was giving it as hard as she had got it. So a lot of bluffing going on, and it really related to the pecking order. Biting the neck is a way of getting instant obedience. Mother cats carry their kittens by the nape of their neck, and when they pick up their kittens that way, the kitten goes limp. You didn't indicate the age of your older cat, but if under three years, she still has a lot of kitten in her, and kittens play rough. Very rough. So in the absence of blood drawn, it is rough play and jockeying for alpha kitty position. I don't really see the need to separate them at night, since any potential damage you are concerned about could happen so quickly, your being there doesn't really matter. Not separating them at night might simply add a bit more noise to your home, but that's about it.

Answer 3

Why take the kitten dude?
If it bothers you that it's acting like a kitten then seems odd you had it in the first place.
I have rescued three wee felines in the last five months that cruel owners had ejected from their homes.
The last two we rescued only two days ago but sadly one of the wee critters died in the night...they were both just skin and bone.
On seeing them drenched and shivering by the side of the road in the rain I thought... UH OH! loads of time and attention, but at the same time great rewards for having some new wee playmates in the house.
The wee guy who (survived the first night) hopefully after his visit to the vet today will thrive and become a regular pain in the **** by following me around and whining when am out of view.

The first wee kitten I rescued five months ago suffered a head trauma after only about a month of rescuing her and tragically she died.
Prior to this she wailed and cried whenever she was alone and I can tell you I really missed that wailing when it stopped.
She was a wonderful little kitten.
So please be patient and learn to enjoy the fact the wee nuisance loves you and follows you around...you are it's mummy!
The wee thing will stop it eventually.

Answer 4

Kittens hate closed doors when they know their humans are behind them. I'd rather keep doors open and let my cats come and go as they please. He or she (not "it") should grow out of that behavior somewhat, but some cats always remain very attached to their owners. Are you giving your kitty enough time and attention? You might also consider adopting another kitten as a playmate and companion, especially if you're out of the house alot. Good luck.

Answer 5

Your kitten is very attached to you, he/she is still young and doesn't want to be alone.
One reason could be that it may have been taken from his/her Mother to soon.

I had a cat like that a few years ago, she was taken from her Mother before she was ready, so she saw me as her Mother.
She remained very attached to me until the day she died...2 days before she turned 19 years old.

Answer 6

Well, my cat is 14 years old and still sucks my wool jumpers like a wee kitten, I found him and he was way too small, I think it is maybe for the same reason yours is behaving that way...

Answer 7

It will grow out of it. Being a kitten it wants love and to play with you as soon as they turn a year old they won't care if you are in the room or not as long as their bowl is full and their litter box is clean.

Answer 8

Forget It!, Your cat will most likely follow you from now on. You are it's friend. You should probably give it to someone who really wants a cat if you don't want it around all the time. Not to mention the hair you will have on everything in your house.

Answer 9

It is probably scared of being alone so it always wants to be around you.

Answer 10

no because it's very fund of you take advantage of this time while it lasts it won't be with you forever
