Getting ready for a new kitten. Thank you so much for some new tips and such! I can’t wait to use them with her.
I loved this video. I just happened upon it. And I appreciate your advice. I had a kitten who would reach up to me to pick him up. So cute. I suppose he got it from me doing it to him. 😻
Haha thank you for commenting! yes they definitely need to be conditioned to the way we do things! So making them comfortable with how we act I think will make them friendlier. I hope your enjoying my channel! ~ Dr. Lindsay Butzer

Thank you for your video
My cousin has a cat of the same race as those two. But the cat is nothing like them. It's difficult to touch (it will escape or attack). Picking it up is virtually impossible (sometimes it is possible for 2secs, but you have to let go to avoid getting scratched all over). I blame the cat seller for the cat personality. For me it seems the kitten was not socialized properly.
In the first place it is quite unusual for a 2-3 weeks old kitten to constantly hide in random parts of the house whenever it hears any unexpected sound. I only had one cat doing that in my whole life - but it was a kitten raised in the wild. Even then it was only doing it for a few days and then it become attached to us and learned most of the house sounds.
Coincidentally I got a kitten one month younger than my cousin cat. Mixed race. The kitten was raised by me since she was born (although I was only seeing her two days a week, my parents were taking care of her on workdays). I was making sure po pick her up a lot, to speak to her, to let her look into random rooms and even the garden - I taught her my hips and arms are her save place, where she can hide when she is scared.
She doesn't like being hold very long (I think it's genetic, her mother was also like that, it's like it's physically uncomfortable to them) but she is the most chill cat I ever seen. She will start purring loudly whenever someone pays attention to her and while she isn't the cuddly type she will patiently let you pick her up and only shows signs of discomfort when she is held too long, without scratching and stuff (she is really strong, so she simply pushes you away and jumps off).
The biggest difference between her and my cousin cat was when I brought my cat to my grandma house (my parents were leaving for a vacation) and the cousin cat was also there (she lives upstairs of grandma and comes down sometimes). My cat was 3 month old, she was 4 month old.
My cat become comfortable with the new place right away, started sniffing stuff and playing with decorations. The cousin cat never behaves like that (she is currently 2yo, visits my grandma daily but is still easily scared by every unexpected sound or movement). So since my cat was supposed to be staying there for a week we concluded it's probably a good idea to introduce the kittens - they were roughly the same age (one month difference, 3mo and 4mo), they should be able to become friends easily and play together, which would be beneficial to them both, right? Nope.
My cat was very curious of the cousin cat and clearly wanted to play, not scared or aggressive at all. The cousin cat on the other hand looked at my cat, freaked out, escaped under a closet and refused to go out for 3h. My aunt took her home later and apparently the cousin cat was so nervous she was puking for 2 next days out of stress.
They didn't let the cats to met again (the cousin cat was forbidden from going to grandma house during my cat stay). But my cat shown another difference between them - she totally bewitched everyone because she was just so friendly and cute. Complete opposition of my cousin cat. That's what a proper socialization of a kitten does to it.
I have a 10 year old rescue Rag Doll cat.
She hunts, does not sit near me, bits and scratches at times. She is nothing like a Rag Doll
oh yeah! They have to be raised with a ton of love and socialization to be friendly. BUT some just have it in them and roll over and are friendly from the get go. So all depends on your cats confidence and inner personality. :)
Stop yelling and no a lot of shelter cats are friendlier then pure breeds due to them wanting love
You can't force a cat to be affectionate, you have just accept them for who they are!
Jesus, calm down... Use your inside voice..
