My cat attacks!

[Marbles23]

So I rescued my kitten when she was about 3 months old and she was fine until about a month ago when she started biting and attacking everyone. She bites out hands, legs, feet, arms, face. We bought her a scratch post and a bunch of toys! We tried the spray bottle also but she will randomly attack! I would be sitting on the couch doing homework and she would come up and wrap her arms and legs around my arm and scratch and bite hard. She has made me and my brothers bleed a couple times. Any advice?

How long have you had her, and how old is she now? Any other changes in the household recently?

I've had her for about 2 1/2 months now...so she's almost 5-6 months old. Nothing has really changed except we put out Christmas tree up and she goes crazy and climbs on it and breaks everything! She has already knocked it over twice.

It might be about time to schedule her spay - could be those teenage hormones kicking in! If a spray bottle doesn't dissuade her, try a soda can with a few pebbles in it, then taped shut. Shake that, and lots of cats hate the noise, and it will stop them.

Sounds good! I'll give it a try! Thank you!
