I’ve been lap kitten training my terrified foster kittens. I’ve been telling them they’ll love snuggles. They have finally stated to comply.

This is Taylor loving being my TV buddy.

I took in 11 from a hoarder situation. They were healthy, just not used to people.

Oh no… I’ve created a monster. I live here now. When they ask about me, tell them I was brave.

Imgurians have asked how they can help my fosters. We are always in need of supplies! Here is a wishlist if you’d like to send some our way. :)

It’s illegal to talk about a cat and not include a picture. Please comply before I contact the authorities.

This is nice to see. We took in some cats that were outdoors for a few years and wish they were more comfortable being held. Will try it!

Corporal Cuddling is essential for kittens from any background to learn good manners, IMO. It does take a balance not to push too hard/fast.

I found that rotisserie chicken helped a LOT with quickly getting kittens used to hooman presence/touch. Without the skin of course.

My tactic is to force my love upon them until they comply. :D

Yep. These kitten were pretty easy: “NO CUDDLES….wait… they’re warm? I get scritches? Then snacks? Maybe cuddles aren’t so bad.” :D

The Doorway To Good Kitty Life is through treats. Temptations Purrre "push pops" are how I was able to socialize 2 otherwise feral kittens.

I’m just nosy. Was this the Sugar Land hoarder? We’ve been donating to the shelter. 125 cats - some were pregnant.

One hundred twenty-five cats in a hoarder house? I can smell your comment.

I don’t think so.Just a guy who had a bunch of cats. He was advertising them for free on Craigslist which isn’t usually safe for kittens.1/2

It was a rural shelter that took them in, then begged the rescues for some nutcase to take all 11. I was that nutcase. :D 2/2

How do you lap train a cat?

It doesn’t hurt to keep your house cool as well, they might accept you as a heat source more readily

My cat was the cuddliest I ever met until I bought her a heating pad. Heartbreaking

My boy nacho just realized that laps are where the warms are. He never snuggled before but now that it's chillier I can't keep him off me!

I think he thinks he invented lap naps, he's so smug about it

Blanket snuggles. When they start to become stressed let them leave. Repeat. Gets longer each time because they love the warm snuggles

Yep! These kittens just needed to be shown that humans are warm and give scritches and love them.

Does this also work on older cats who don't really like snuggles? I have one i adopted with serious single kitten syndrome and is bitey

Aww poor baby. Single Kitten Syndrome is the worst. Does the kitty have a friend now?

3 years ago | Likes 5 Dislikes 0

2 attempted friends who I've been trying to introduce to her for like 6 months. She hasnt been very receptive despite my best efforts

Do you keep them separate for the first 2weeks? & some cats aren't 'lap cats', that's OK too. They like to hang out in the same room
