new kitten slept on my neck last night and I think this is how Stockholm syndrome starts

We've had Fern for five days. She spent the first four acting like I was an overfunded food delivery app, then last night crawled up and slept against my neck for an hour. I barely slept because I was terrified to move, but emotionally? absolutely destroyed.

Enjoy it while she's tiny. Mine used to do that and now he drop-kicks my ribs at 3am.

Overfunded food delivery app is the most accurate description of early kittenhood.
