my cats are driving me nutz!!! will not leave me alone..HELP!!!?
I adopted three kittens I found in my garage, about a month old, they weren't weaned yet, so I had to bottle feed them, put newspapers everywhere, try to keep them trapped in the bathroom because they were so little they'd fall through the cracks in the floor - two calico-ish males and one black fuzzy one - now they are about 7 months old and are OBSESSED with me, follow me everywhere, climb up my legs, as soon as I sit I have three cats in my lap (or on my head) the black one always smearing his face on mine, and forget about sleeping with them on the bed, I would get no sleep.. I'm hoping once I get them fixed the madness will end but what do I do with THREE overly affectionate kittens (who are getting seriously HUGE fast, I'm sure there's some maine coon in them, especially the black one.. HELP!!!!

I am laughing so hard right now. I am in my office in the lower level of my home and my 2 males are having the kitty 500 upstairs and I just heard my husband yell because he is trying to sleep. He forgot to set the door. What we do is not close the door all the way. We leave it open just enough that they have to walk to get in. There is a door stop behind the door and an obstacle beside the door just inside the room. They MUST walk to get in. Well, this is just no fun for a kitty 500. So, they use the other 2 bedrooms, living room, dining room and yes even the kitchen and hallways. Our bedroom tends to be the pit row when they need to rest. We learned to do these things with the door the hard way. Loss of sleep, kitties racing across our faces, knocking over lamps and clocks. So at first we tried to close the door and yes they yelled and clawed. Then we decided to close the door but not let it latch. They would hit the door like a ton of bricks which sent my husband and I straight up in the bed. Well then we discovered a door stop will keep the door from slamming open but the kitties would still hit the door and run in. We were at our wits end until we found out by accident (a laundry basket was put just inside the door) that an obstacle would stop the running. That was comical though. They were running down the hall, through the door and the one in front stopped in his tracks and the one bringing up the rear, well he literally brought up the rear of the one in front. I still laugh to this day and that was 5 years ago.
how lovely make the most of it as they get older they will not be as affectiate and playfull, they clearly see u as mum u have done everything for them from such a young age, my twix was very loving and i miss his love so much my other cats only love me at food time or when they want my bed for themselves, or when they are poorly they want there mum, i hav 7 cats, i would love them to be so loving again like they were when they were babies , harry was like that hes nearly a year now, i dont think its cool to love mum now hes a big boy, when i pick him up to kiss him his face says it all like a stroppy teenager urrrrr shes kissing me in front of other cats lol enjoy this time with them,
a cat is royalty in their own mind. you need to discourage them coming unless calling them. if they jump on you without your permission they are trying to own you. pick them up and put them on the floor everytime, it will take some patience but it is definitely worth it in the end. teach them to only come when called and i can guarantee it won't stop completely, when a cat is fed from the hand of a human they're usually more dependent than ones that were fed from their mother, try teaching them no. i used to yell psst! when my cats were bad.
ive never seen a live calico male cat, ive owned many calico cats, and they have all been females, never seen a male calico cat, never heard of a male calico cat to be alive, heard that they are born and die soon after birth, cause they should not come out males, they only come out females, would like to see a picture of them, and if they are calico's are you sure there males, cause ive never heard of one even being alive, and when you bottle feed kittens, you are there mom, so they will follow you everywhere, i found one 12day old kitten, his name is garfield, i thought he was a girl, when he turned 6months old, found out he had one testicle, and it was an undeveloped testicle birth defect, and another 12day old kitten was giving to me who i named peter, from a mother and her daughter, they gave me a half dead kitten, dehydrated, brought him back to life though he almost died on me when he was 3weeks old, but he made it out, his going to be 2yrs old, this year, garfield is going to be 5yrs old this year, my two boys follow me everywhere, i go outside, and call them, they come running to me
