My kitten drools when he purrs. Is that normal?

I recently adopted a 6-month-old kitten. He is very sweet but his need for constant attention and affection is driving me a bit crazy. He follows me around, jumps in my lap the minute I sit down and meows plaintively if I leave the room. Is this just a kitten behavior that he will grow out of? Is there any way I can encourage him to be more independent?

My kitten is 5-to-6 months old, and when he is sleeping on his side or back his legs twitch/shake is this normal or could something be wrong? If you get his attention and wake him up he stops right away.

I have a nine-month-old kitten and 2 older cats. My kitten always seems hungry but I'm concerned he's getting over weight. What can I do to help him?

recently rescued an abandoned kitten a few months ago. He has been neutered and has gotten his first series of shots. He is happy & healthy. One day while preparing dinner I was cutting stems from broccoli and a piece shot across the kitchen and the kitten went crazy. He was acting as if he caught a mouse, he was tossing it around, running with it in his mouth. He will chew on it but not eat it, I know he may be ingesting some. Is this harmful for him? It seems to be his toy of choice.

It is a myth that cats like to sneak into the nursery, lie on the baby's chest and suck their breath. Most cats shy away from babies as their noise and activity levels are unpredictable. It is recommended to keep cats out of the nursery.
