Biting

[moosmom]

Sounds like you might be over stimulating her. The best thing to do when she bites is to stop, say "NO!!" loudly and walk away. This should help to deter her from biting.

The best thing to do with kittens her age is to play with her using kitty toys, albeit teaser wand, stuffed mice, etc. Avoid using your hands as this encourages her to bite and she'll think it's a toy.

Hope this helps!!

I would advise the same as Moosmom. Unfortunately I did not do it enough with baby Peppito and I played a lot with my hands with him, and now he is a "biter" (perhaps he would have been anyway).

At the shelter I see a lot of biting kittens, while other ones don't bite at all. Usually, saying a firm "NO" and playing with a toy with them helps a lot.

I may regret saying this, but, ALL my kittens were little biters like you said...and I didn't discourage or encourage it. Today, no one bites me (well, Gus does, but, he is still a kitten). Just my opinion.....
