Am I a bad mother to my kitty? I have been on this Q and A thing for the past couple of hours and I thought?

that my white Nike shoe was her and I've been saying stuff to it like-hi baby...I'm not ignoring you...and when I finally just asked her if she was ready for supper I noticed that IT WAS MY shoe! I feel so bad because she was actually sittn' there and staring at me from the other side of the room-I feel like I am neglecting them so this will be my last "Q" for the day...am I a bad "fuzzy baby" mommy or do cats really not give a crap as long as you love 'em up and feed them?

That is funny. I have done something similar before...felt like an idiot when I realised it was a stuffed animal! Your cat probably doesn't even know what was going on.
Reply:I think cats really don't care if you don't pay attention to them...unless they're hungry, AND its actually when they want attention on their terms, that it really matters.
Reply:I can be reciting the news and my cats are happy. They love it when we talk to them, even if we aren't looking at them. Just keep talking to her, she'll be fine.

Reply:Thats AMAZING! I don't think I would admit to being the "mother" of a kitten. Who was the father?
Reply:you're not a bad kitty mom...you were just a little confused...maybe you're cat was a little jealous of the shoe!
Reply:As long as you talk to them spend "some" time with them and feed them they will be fine juz dont neglect it entirely , it will start destroying things or pissing all over. No your not a bad "fuzzy baby mommy" you cared enought to wonder if you were neglecting and shows that you care!!!!
Reply:Don't worry, cats are independent and don't need constant attention
Reply:so so bad
Reply:Your cat probably doesn't know what you're saying. She's fine. She still loves you!! Have a nice day! :)
Reply:it's ok don't worry about it, I'm sure she didn't know or care, just pay attention to her tonight and play with her.
Reply:the kitten now is quivering because she has a nuts owner, do something to restore her confidence in you and show you are stable and do not talk to shoes.
Reply:no don't worry they like to play alot as kittens , your not a bad mama , it just takes time for your baby to adjust to its new surroundings,, and give it time everything will fall into place , and your baby will love you for ever, like my 2 year old male cat oh the love of my life he knows it , my hubby and kids get jealous, but who cares right.....
