I must commend whoever fostered the litter of kittens where Jake came from.
He knows no, he know the sound of a can opening already, is so not scared of anything. He is so loving it's unbelievable. I haven't ever had a kitten so ready for the world ever.
He is really smart...a lot bigger than what Lucky was when we got her.
He is not a huge baby not like Lucky was/is. :rolleyes: :lmao:
Maybe now that I'm older I can just appreciate the differences of a untrained kitten and one like Jake. :)

That's great! :thumbsup:

Motley was the same when I got her - Sparkle was already a couple of months old when he came to me so he'd had a bit of practice! :lol:

I'm so glad you got a good one, Allie. It sounds like y'all are going to be very close. There's nothing quite so lovely as a polite, well behaved kitten.

I'd never thought about that before, but it's a good point. Some people would be much better suited to a trained kitten than a 'wild' one.

Wild kittens are so funny-all their antics are incredibly entertaining. But they can be awfully trying for some, too.

When we got Pup, I guess her age to be 10-12 weeks old. She had lived outside with her mom in the woods all her life. She was kind of mean. I was actually scared of her. She's the smartest cat I've ever had, but I haven't trained her very well at all. She would probably be an angel if she had spent time with Janice as a foster.

I'm just too indulgent-I let them have their way all the time.

That's so wonderful that he's such a good boy :luv1: Isn't it so wonderful having a new kitten in your home? :luv2: So much fun, you can just watch them for hours!!

I really think fostering helps in tremendous ways in making cats more adoptable. Our Mandy was the first cat we ever adopted that was fostered and we could definitly see a difference. she was so smart right off the bat and not afraid of anything including the other cats. But I do think her foster Mom gave her poeple food since she cried whenever I was preparing food in the kitchen :lmao:

Jake seems familiar with the sound of opening canned food. So I know what you mean. :)

That's great!!

Jones & Sasha (particularly Jones!) were royal pains in the BUTT!!! They were awful, awful kittens. Jones was so destructive I could have screamed every day over something he did. They're wonderful now, though, after Momma Liz had her way with 'em! :neener: :rotfl:

Marley was a better kitten, but he's kind of dumb. :lmao: He's certainly not the brightest cat I've had, but he's certainly a cutie pie and I love him to pieces!!

That's great Allie! :thumbsup:
Suzie doesn't know no yet. She doesn't scratch furniture or anything, so there's really no reason to say no.
Dixie was also a royal pain in the butt! :rotfl:

That's awesome Allie.. :thumbsup:

I try to teach all my fosters (if I have them long enough) the command "no" and boy...they learn the whistle I do for feeding time within a few days literally.. even when they are small kittens. I also try to teach them to use a scratch post vs furniture...not always successful on that venture.. :kittyluv:
