'He picks him up and tries to make him rest on his chest': Rescued kitten Cooper chooses his hooman to cuddle, leaving his other pawrent left out, but double snuggles may be coming soon

Three weeks ago, a scrappy little ginger named Cooper was scooped from a parking lot and immediately crowned household royalty. At just five weeks old, he already rules with chaos: curtain climbing, zoomie sprints, finger shredding, and the occasional litter-box paw prints. Yet when the mayhem ends, he turns into a purring prince, curling into his chosen human's neck and pressing his face close.

But Cooper has made his royal preference clear. The quiet, gentle caretaker gets all the cuddles, while the stompy, booming-voiced partner is left with playtime alone. And it stings, because he longs for warm naps and rumbling purrs, not just the title of official toy handler.

Still, cats choose their purrson, and choices can shift with time. If the husband slows down, softens his voice, and lies still, he may eventually earn a share of the snuggles. Until then, he plays the role of playmate while the prince naps on his chosen throne. After all, every royal court needs both comfort and entertainment.

Sometimes it really just boils down to who’s got the kibble! Might be the purr-fect time for your partner to take over a few feeding sessions and win Cooper’s royal favor.

Time, patience, and plenty of tasty snacks will surely win little Coop’s heart. Give it a bit, and he’ll be purring on both thrones like the royal ginger he is.

Worth a shot! And hey, if Coop keeps playing favorites, getting another kitten could be the ultimate solution. Twice the chaos, double the cuddles, and plenty of love to go around.
