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 becuase 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.
