<human>: Condense the text into a few key points

I've never had pets before except for when I was 2 and my grandmother imported me an asian ring neck parakeet from her homeland.  I loved  the parakeet so much that one day I accidently squeezed it to death by hugging it.

Then my parents unknowingly bought me color changing fishes at the age of 10.  These were Oscars and my parents didn't know they had to be fed live fish.  We returned them to the pet store when we realized what the included feeder fish were for.  We had originally thought the fish would get along and be friends.

I'm a bit older now and my family recently got two kittens and it's been 4 months since we've had them.  I live in a family of 8 (excluding the kittens) and I have 5 siblings.  The kittens haven't really bonded with anyone and generally play amongst themselves.  They will tolerate being picked up and petted by anyone for a couple of minutes but as soon as they see a chance to escape, they will jump out of my lap or my arms.

Whenever I pick them up, they start meowing incessantly and just generally don't act the way I expected cats would based off the pictures I saw on reddit.

I give them treats (home cooked chicken), back and belly and chin rubs, I try to get them to sit in my lap or on my bed but they just run away.  They won't even sit on my keyboard!
<bot>: I have 2 kittens around 5 months old and they don't want to be petted and just in general hate me and only see me as a source of food, water, new litter.
