'For example, both my kitten and my toddler nephew will eat toilet paper if unsupervised': Cat owners confess their realistic yet most hissterical stories for surviving kittenhood

Oh, the kitten phase. Or, should we say, the "velociraptor with boundless energy and an insatiable urge to chew on everything" phase. The first part of kittenhood is never long enough. You know the one we're talking about - the one where they're so smol, tiny, and still learning how to exist in the world. Their baby beans are so pink and tiny, their heads so big, and their meows so awwdorable. They're purrfectly happy just cudling with you and eating.This doesn't last for long, though, as your itty bitty kitty will grow seemingly overnight into a kitten with a real purrsonality and a hunger for chaos. This is when the "fun" starts.

We say fun with a grain of salt because even though they are still pawsitively the cutest things you've ever seen in your life, they are also on a purrsonal meowssion to give you a heart attack whenever they can. From chewing on cables to hiding in parts of your house you didn't even know existed, to deciding that biting your hands and ankles is their favorite pastime, your life with a kitten will never be boring. However, your phone storage and hearts will be full of cute meowmories, ones that you will cherish for the rest of your life.

One of our kittens was an absolute angel. He just wanted to cuddle all day. He made us want to get another kitten after a year or two. Our second kitten…. was not that way. She was a nightmare. Jumping on our faces in the middle of the night. Shrieking from getting stuck behind the toilet. Eating everything shaped like a string known to man. It was an expurrience

Sure, you can't leave kittens alone for a long time, but you can't leave babies or puppies alone for lengthy periods of time either. Any sort of infant needs constant care and attention, so if you're not in a position to do that, you probably shouldn't get one.
