Question
my kitten is about three months old and my brother loves the cat and he is always squeezing him i just wanted to know if this will effect the cats attitude towards my brother

Answer
Hi Sid,

Does kitty seem upset at the squeezing? If it is something that bothers kitty, then I suspect he'll start avoiding your brother to avoid being squeezed.

If kitty likes being squeezed then it shouldn't be a problem. When I was growing up I had a kitty that my brother loved to brush backward and tease- kitty loved him more than anyone else. I couldn't understand it, but that cat liked being teased.

I'd watch how kitty responds, and also keep an eye on your brother that he isn't squeezing kitty too hard and causing him harm.
