Otherwise when they are not sleepy all they care about is playing and pouncing and running away... i cant tell but i think they run away in a playful way... i hope not in a scared way. They sometimes tolerate being held but usually they don't really like it too much. They mostly cuddle when they sleep on my face at night (its very cute). Anyway is this normal for a kitten or are they considered undersocialized?

Kittens sleep on your face?
That is disgusting!

This is pretty much normal kitten behavior. I don't hear anything here that raises a red flag. They are just absorbed into their little kitty world. Basically kittens have two speeds; sleep and full throttle. That will last until they are full grown. As they keep growing the spans of time they spend with you will get longer with time.

Your babies are normal and healthy. Have fun with the playfulness, but don't let them in the bathroom if you have plastic shower curtains.
Sleeping on the face is not unusual, either. My kitties liked doing that or sleeping across my neck. Since the rest of your body is under covers, I guess they get more warmth lying next to your exposed skin.
And your kitties will DEMAND more snuggle time from you as they get older and settle a little.

It is very normal for kittens to be more interrested in playing than ppl. But this is the cutest part of their life but also the most distant. They are perfecting their skills for later in life. My cat was really playful till she was about 10 months to a year old. She started to calm down around then. Also it matters if you get them fixed because if you do they will calm down sooner and it is good to do to keep the pet population down. even if you think you can keep a female or male cat in the house when they want to mate, your in for a big surprise. It brings out the wild in them.

Kittens have LOTS of energy during the day, and it can be difficult to cuddle a kitten. Especially with having more than one, they will love to play and run around. Give them time, and simply enjoy the time you get to cuddle them. Take time to sit, and briefly try letting the kitten sit on your lap. They will probably run off to play, but the simple brief moment can still be good for them, and for you. Try to refrain from "playing" by using your hand to wrestle with them. Find string, a laser pointer, and cat toys to keep them entertained. Try taking quiet times in the day, to lay down on the sofa or bed, and see if they come to you. Take that time to softly talk to them, and enjoy your kittens
Good luck.

I'd say it's normal for a kitten. They aren't trained or anything, so they're going to be wild. Learning to pounce and run away is in their instincts.

Totally normal. Just get some kitty toys--balls, string, etc. Roll the balls around, twitch a string and let them play with it. That way they'll learn to play with you in a good way, without learning to attack your hands or feet.
I really would discourage them from snuggling on your face. Trust me--sure it's cute now, but when they are ten pounds it won't be so cute, and you'll be back asking us how to get them to stop! Bad habits are best stopped by never letting them start! (Like the fact that one of my cats is laying on my arm right now and keeps sitting on the keyboard...)
Good luck with your kitties!

It sounds perfectly normal to me. Life is so interesting and fun for energetic kittens so they don't really want to cuddle with humans. It's much more fun to run, play, explore etc.
They are not at all "undersocialized" so don't waste worries on that.

yes this is normal, they're kittens they want to have fun and play, when they get older they'll change and be more cuddly

i think normal for a kitten because they are young with lots of energy when they are awake
