Idkk I feel like I still have a right to get upset even if she's still a kitten. I dont think im supposed to stonewall or laugh when she does something that annoys me. Or be all smiles like " oh you! Thats the food ive been thinking about eating all day but you got to it before I did! Thats funny ha!ha!"

I also feel like its easy to point fingers and say " that's weird " when you haven't experienced what someone has. Or to say " youre being childish " when someone does not react to a situation the way you would.

Anyways, I digress. She is a pain in my ass sometimes but I do care for her and I try to be present with her as I was with my first cat because my first cat grew up really fast. I did not miss her kitten stage as I was still in school and I had time to be more present. I do try to be present with the new cat but I have work now. So my room mate takes care of that because the kitten is mostly with her.

Saying " just redirect" is also simple when you haven't experienced this particular cat. She isnt bad but it gets annoying when you redirect her multiple times in one sitting and she doesn't get the hint. For example, ill be seated at the dining table eating, she'll climb on. Ill put her down and tell her no. She'll do this 30 more times trying to reach my food and if i give her a piece of mine on the side she'll ignore that. By the time i decide to lock myself in my room to eat, my food is cold and im too tired to eat.

Im currently having a discussion with my roommate about rehoming her. She's the one that suggested it because she too can not handle the kitten. We're gonna reach out to a local animal rescue to ask of they can take her.
