That's what it is like. This cat apparently likes me so much that it is
willing to permanently disfigure me! :-) I love my little parrot cat
anyway (I call him that as a joke - he likes to perch on my shoulder
and tickle me in the ear - just like he is doing now).

On another note - I have to give it a vial of medicine every day - this
is obviously not something that he likes to do. I've tried mixing it
with chicken broth, but he's too smart for me to fool him that way. It
makes me feel really crappy to hold him down - is there a better way?

Just got this kitten a few days ago and it has learned a kind of
annoying little behaviour. While I am asleep it likes to cuddle up just
beneath my chin and sleep. Very cute. BUT, when it wakes up and decides
it wants to play, it starts to stick it's face into mine and then claw
at my face (Playfully, not being mean in any way). Needless to say,
this is somewhat annoying to me. I don't mind it sleping on my chest,
but I just wonder what this behaviour is. Is it actually just trying to
play or is my cat trying to tell me something else?


If the 'clawing' is actually more pushing wlternately with the paws,
it is called 'kneading' and is considered a sign of affection.
However, one's face is not the place - legs, arms, and belly are much
better. You could try moving the kitten and give it a lot of petting
in the new location and none in the old.
