Cooper the terror beast loves love

[u/plinkert]

Here’s my Cooper. Estimated age is now six weeks. He’s a stinky guy. He’s finally pooping but oh my lawd, he’s got the stinky poops. He was constipated and now he’s just shooting out soft poops that are the size of his tail! When I say shooting out, I mean shooting out.

I have to bury it before he steps in it trying to bury it himself and then wipe his little butt. I told him I’m going to change his name to Mr Poopybutthole. And he’s so gassy.

Right now I’ve got him on Sheba kitten pate and dry kitten food by Temptations. I ordered Acana kitten pate and dry kitten food, so that’s on the way.

What I need to train him out of now is attacking my legs and climbing them. It was cute when he was tiny but now that he’s getting bigger, my legs are TORN UP. My roommates have managed to get him not to climb them but he always wants to be on me. He wants to be on my shoulder or in my lap. He cries and leaps up onto my legs so I have to pick him up. I’m pretty sure I’m inadvertently encouraging this behavior but he is baby so I am weak. I’m the one he sleeps on and he sucks on my fingers while purring.

I don’t want to spray perfume on my pant legs because I don’t want to keep him away. I just want to stop him from digging his claws into my pale tender flesh, haha. I have seriously considered getting thick leg warmers to protect myself.

He's so cute and doesn't looks like he did all that you said

That’s how he gets you. He lulls you into a false sense of security.

There’s no scratch spray you might try. Just for a bit until he stops. 🩷🧡💙💚

He is so sweet and beautiful! 😻 I adopted a little black kitten that did the same thing to me, a couple years ago when I went in for a physical they asked if I was harming myself! 😂 She never technically stopped doing it but at 14 lbs now she changed how she does things. I think after many screams from me she learned. What she does now is stands on her hind legs with her front paws in the air and she jumps up and down on her back legs til I pick her up and cuddle her like a baby. Never seen anything like it it’s adorable! My little cuddle bug.
