My kitten,Jynx, is biting and scratiching me! Hes driving me crazy! I love him to death but OUCH! How does he know when not to bite or scratch? I come homw from school and i go to give him a kiss and he puts his little paws on my face and opens his tiny little mouth. Other times i will just want to pet him and he just swats at me, scatches, bites, pounces, latches to my feet, attacks my toes, everything! He never learns. i dont know how to not "punish" but discipline him. I dont want to hurt his feelings. i want him to love me! I just feel so bad when he cries. Look at his face! You cannot yell at him. So, the question is...HOW DO I TEACH MY LITTLE BABY TO PLAY NICE?!"

He looks tiny. The best bet is if he won't play nice, say NO!, and ignore him for awhile. He may need a "time out" in another room with his toys. Give him a toy he can maul. Good luck!

he LOOKS innocent enough......:D but as we all know looks are deceiving.. does he get along with your other fur kids?
I agree,,, if he starts to bite and scratch say NO in a firm voice and give him atime out.....
Let us know how he is doing.. He is adorable!!!

I would also invest in a fishing rod toy (i,e A toy attach to a thread attached to a stick, that way your hands stay out of reach.
He will grow out of this behaviour, just continue to tell him no, place him on the floor and don't play fort a short while or hiss to show your pain.

Great ideas!!!
He is precious.... I would have to tell him No and turn my back so he wouldn't see my face... The eys are usually a goner for me...:)
Keep us all posted on how precious is doing.

YUP.... turning the back is the best defense for us pet parents....
Try a spray bottle when your little warrior gets agressive and say NO!
She'll get the hint and yo sprya he rgently in the face a time of two.
PLEASE let us know how SHEERA Warrior Princess is behaving!
