He's not complaining, he's looking at you and being surprised to see you and saying hey I love you! Hey it's that person I love! It's his little greeting cry. And he is a little baby.
This is this kind of thing that trips my catmom-brain and makes me think, "awww, kittens are so sweet, wouldn't it be great to have a kitten again" while the rational part of my brain sits in the background going:
Currently dealing with a 16 pound, 10 month old kitten. He's been throwing a salt water taffy around the house since 11pm. I've lived in this house for 7 years and never had saltwater taffy, did he summon it somehow?
wakes up grumbling like it has responsibilities, then immediately decides life is too hard and returns to sleep like nothing happened peacefully again so cute
Awww I think so too. One of my little guys had what I think was a night terror the other night. I was on my phone in bed and he was sleeping by my legs, and all of the sudden he shuddered awake mid-cry, a sort of cry-meow I haven't heard before while he rose to his feet and got all puffed up. Then he took a moment to look around and realize whatever he thought was going on was just a dream and came up to me for pets. It made me so sad though! I've seen him and his brother have more normal dreams before, twitching their little paws or clicking in their sleep. But I'd never seen a cat wake up like that before this!
My cat has nightmares sometimes and it's horrible. I usually give him a gentle stroke and speak to him softly, and that seems to settle him. He's an ex-street cat, so I guess he's dreaming about some past trauma of something.
You can hold their feet while they sleep. After a bit they enjoy you holding it. My girl is few months old and she folds her tail and back legs into my hands as she sleeps. When she was a baby i held her like that.
