Food obsessed kitten will stop at nothing for a snack, internet educates new cat mom that kittens need a lot of calories: 'I can’t even drink coffee on the couch without her fighting to get to my cup'

Being a new cat mom comes with jarring responsibilities, ones that sometimes require input from outside sources. When the protagonist in the story below gets a young kitten, she is lost on how to deal with the little girl's behavior. This kitten wants food – a lot of food. She claims she has to lock her kitten in a bedroom every time she eats or else the little kitten will try to eat her food. After posting on the internet in dire need of insight, some wholesome strangers come in with advice for her.

Her kitten isn't just randomly eating a ton, she's actually probably very hungry. Based on what the protagonist says she feeds her, all of the comments were expressing worry that the kitten might not be getting enough calories. Of course she would be biting at a cup of coffee, she's so young and nascent and doesn't understand the world enough to know what's edible and what isn't. We've all been there with our kittens – tearing the bag of uncooked lentils from them while they froth at the mouth in desperate need of dried beans. Read the full story below for all the juicy details. And don't forget to comment whether you agree with advice or not.
