People look at cats and think that they are low-maintenance animals. All they need is for you to give them some food and water, clean their litterbox, and pet them every once in a while, whenever they deem you worthy of such an act. And while, to an extent, that's true, cats do love their independence, you, as their owner, have so, so much that you need to know.
Over time, as a cat owner, you learn things like the importance of playing with your cat, and you learn why using squirt bottles can be harmful sometimes, and you learn why cats bite their humans and what it means. Really, there is a whole lot to know, and although, we want to be as as purrfect as our cats, chances are that we will learn some of these things through mistakes. And that's okay. The most impurrtant thing is that we do our best and love our cats as hard as they deserve to be loved.

Having read through this whole thread, the only thing that we have to say is that… new cat owners should take it easy on themselves. We have all been there. We have all made some mistakes in the beginning. The most impurrtant thing is that when these mistakes happen, we learn from them.
It seems, based on the picture of the cat and everything else that you described about it throughout the thread, that your kitty loves you, and that he is not mad at you at all. And neither are we. We know, in our hearts, that this is a match made in heaven, and that the two of you will have the best lives together.
