I have a User Directory named "kitty" I want to change all the

There are some other owners of files that I want to change to kitty.
chown -R kitty kitty:kitty
Is this Correct ?
The correct command is:
chown -R kitty:kitty kitty
The "-R" means "recursive". The "kitty:kitty" define the
user and group
you want the files chown'd to, the last "kitty" is the directory (and
everything it contains) you want to operate on.
