He often tries to eat my long hair. I always try to stop him but when i’m asleep he sometimes gets a few strands. Today when he went poop, I noticed like 3-4 strands sticking out. They were sticking out sorta longly, and online it said trimming them is good so they won’t get stuck and pulled out while the kitten is playing. I took some scissors and cut off the first couple fine (couldn’t get them super short but at least enough to where they werent like sticking out 3 inches like before) but at the last one, right as I was cutting it, he moved and it caused the scissors to pull out one of them about an inch.

I am so worried. I was trying hard to keep him from moving but it just happened. I’m scared he could have gotten his intestines ripped or something because he meowed as it happened. Now he’s playing and eating, but idk. It has only been like 30 mins so I feel like it would take longer for something to happen.

Do you guys think he’s okay? I am going to make him a vet visit tomorrow but I am worried for now.

Edit: For all you numbskulls in the replies who cannot comprehend what I meant I will rephrase:

“Will taking a 15 week kitten on walks outside and carrying him in stores have an affect on his behavior (not asking about if it’s okay to take him in stores)”

I assumed it was okay, but I have heard some people saying it can cause them to become more wild. I don’t want him to start spraying or dashing outside. He is neutered and has been since he was like 10 weeks, but idk. So far iv only taken him to stores (he loves to be carried around walmart lol) but I have a harness ordered because I thought he’d enjoy a walk and two a day for his mental health. Obviously I know it’s not like he’s a dog or anything, I just planned to let him walk around the neighbor and I could follow him around.

I looked it up online though and people are acting like it would make him end up spraying and dashing outside every chance he gets. Is it a bad idea?

WE CARRY THE FLAME

I love him so much. He’s the sweetest thing. But my mother took him into her and my father’s bedroom without a litterbox, which caused him to pee on their bed.

Now they both insist on getting rid of him. They say he will “do it again”. I am so insanely hurt right now. I tried so hard to take amazing care of him and now I have to get rid of him. He’s never had an accident before. Iv only had him for like 25 days, but like he’s always been so good. It is not his fault he was forced into a room with no litterbox while I was doing lawn work. How do I mentally cope with this? I am willing to help find a home for him where he is wanted, but my heart is aching.

kitty gate**

I have a plastic 20 dollar baby/animal gate that I use to keep them from leaving their room when I have guest over. It’s not secured to the wall because it’s supposed to just click into place. I suppose somehow it unclicked because one of them jumped onto the back of it and it caused it to fall backwards onto both of them. I’m so worried. They are eating and playing still but what if they are hurt? It is about 2.5 feet tall and like weights probably around 10 pounds. Is this normal kitten behavior or is this vet worthy?

I was playing sorta rough with him and his sister using my hand. I was talking to someone while playing with them, and due to being distracted I accidentally hit the side of the kitten’s head hard. Not like super hard, but I work out a lot and I was moving my hand pretty fast. Anyway, I stopped directly afterwards and learned my lesson, but I am super worried about him. He is still eating and playing with his sister as while as cuddling, but I feel like he’s not being as cuddly as before. Normally he’s a total snuggle bug. Right now he is asleep on me, but normally he lays on my chest and rubs his face against me first. Has anyone else had an experience like this? Is this super serious?

Recently I was at a family event at my older sister’s house (my sister is 40 btw) and towards the end, my family started talking about my sister’s friend’s daughter, who is a lesbian. She has been openly into women for about 2-3 years now and even has a girlfriend. She is around my age (18), and while talking about her, my sister said, “Hopefully it’s just a phase” . She then continued to talk about how the lesbian girl takes hormones for an imbalance she has, which my sister believes is why she is a lesbian (big flaw here would be that she has only been taking the medication for about a month, while she has been identifying as lesbian for over 2 years LMAO) Anyways, of course I found this ridiculous, but i am extremely shy and they are very conservative and Christian, so I just stayed quiet. Then my sister decided to look at me and say, “maybe that’s the deal with you” in reference to me having PCOS.

I explained to her that I only like girls and not guys and that Iv known for a while. Iv been telling my family i I like girls since i was 11. This resulted in my whole family ganging up on me and saying the “right man” could swipe me off my feet. Now I tried to stay calm and brush it off, but I did say to my sister, “Well maybe ur a lesbian and the right woman could come along”. Things escalated as you can imagine, and they basically just continued to disrespect me. I kept my cool because i know i am considered the weirdo who gets stepped on 24/7, so i can’t defend myself. I hugged everyone and said goodnight.

After we left my mom got mad at me. She said I seemed butthurt. She was saying that my sister meant no harm and is supportive of me, but i am too young to know what i want and that i can’t know what i like at my age (im 18 btw). This annoys me very much because my heterosexual cousins don’t get the same treatment when talking about what they like. I tried to reason with her, but no luck. She insisted she’d support me either way (although her past homophobia says otherwise) and that it’s my fault for being so sensitive with my sister. She said I cannot know unless i have sex with a man, to which i replied with “I think i can tell which gender i want to fuck”. Yeah okay sure i’ll admit that was a little bit much, and she ended up REALLY mad at me for saying that. She continued to say that neither my sister or her knew i was lesbian and that this is new information to them (iv told them both over 5 times) therefore it’s not their fault. This lead to me telling my mom i feel so judged by her and like i can’t tell her anything (completely true) and then she got even madder and said im horrible for saying that to her.

She said a lot more but it ended with her saying i’m confused and over dramatic. I am having a hard time even wanting to go over there anymore. My mom is suggesting we hang out with them again tomorrow but i hate feeling disrespected. Between this and them also making fun of me being an atheist, I just feel so judged. It’s important to mention they are very nice and have helped me a lot, but i just can’t get over the disrespect. I just wanted to vent about it. This post is pretty pointless but idk. Is there anything i did wrong here?
