    This is normal kitten behavior and something that he will outgrow when he gets older.
    I don’t know of any way to deter kittens from going to certain places. You will have to kitten proof your electronic cords. The biting and scratching is also normal playing behavior. Have you ever considered getting him a buddy to play with? Keep his nails trimmed and distract him with a toy when he is biting.
    He is absolutely adorable!
    I want him!

    How about posting some more pictures of him?

    Thanks to BCBlondie for this great signature!

    I can't add anything to what has been said, but I wanted to say how adorable Picasso is. I saw his picture on the "P" thread and I want him too.

    I have hissed at my cat for being too rough just like his mother or another cat would. If he got too out of control with aggression I would take him off my lap or bed or whatever, or if he was really naughty I would give him a time out in the room where his litter box is.
    Learn to read his behavior and stop playing with him before he gets aggressive: the tail might twitch or flop, ears might be pulled down and eyes are tell tale too.
    You will find if you don't put up with it he will become more gentle, and he will be less aggressive. Just NEVER wrestle with him or let anyone else do it. Cats tend to play to win!

    yes I hiss at him too and the little bugger freaks out but then as soon as I get up to leave, he bombard's my ankles! (ow!)
    Unfortunatly his litter is in the living room, we were going to move it onto the balcony, but some half-witted pigeon made its home there and we are afraid that the cat will eat the baby's!

    Yah, Ive been wanting to get a second kitten as a play mate, but this is my first cat and there is no way that my parents are gonna lt me keep another one! We were supposed to get two cats but it was my brother that said two was a little too much for such a small apartment.
    Thank you for the suggestions though, they are much appreciated, and as soon as I get some good pictures of Picasso, I'll post them up here for you to see!
