Hey everyone else in the notes, I’m the grandson of a professional cat judge and breeder and you literally have to just. Hold cats. To make them used to being handled. Like, they’re gonna get pissed but you’re not hurting them At All I promise. This lil guy is just miffed he’s not being hurt and he’s not thrashing out he’s just an angry baby pls calm down

Just so y’all know here’s the same cat 7 months later :-)

Yeah, literally all cats have to be socialized or they’re going to be feral. Every kitten starts off as a ball of fury and prickles, it’s just how they are. Hold the grumby babies and they get over it and realize that you’re actually Pretty Cool. It helps if mama is around to make the babies go see you even when they’d really rather not, but even so, they’re just like this and you gotta hold them anyway.

why did I read that as ‘every kitten starts off as a furry prick’ and I was like, can confirm
