Bella is seriously misbehaving!!

[KittyGurl]

No rough play at all. Even if it seems like your just playing and having fun, Bella won't know that and she will think that she can scratch, claw and bite whenever she wants.

If she ever hurts you, you need to get out the spray bottle. If one spray doesn't work try two or three so it will get through to her that hurting you is a "no-no." Try saying "no." Say it sternly, but not yelling. You are the boss of Bella. You need to show her that.

Good luck!

Bella could have been separated from her littermates to soon. She doesn't
know how cat's play with each other & when she's being too rough.Another
cat with a lot of spunk might calm her down a bit.

thank you everybody! i will try and answer most of the questions. no she isn't fixed yet. the vet said to wait until she is 6 mo. when we first got her i honestly did not know that you can't play with cats with your hands. i have had kittens/cats before and they didn't do this. but in our defense, she has done this since she was 6 weeks old. we got her from the vet and as far as i know she was only in a cage with her siblings. i use a water bottle and tell her noooooo. she kinda looks at me now when i tell her nooo, like maybe it is sinking in. i tell her "no biting". my fiance is the culprit on this though. i occasionally catch him roughing with her. and his comeback is that his other cats didn't misbehave because he did that.

Would your fiance be willing to suspend the rough play for 1 month, so she learns to calm down?

Otherwise, she is getting mixed messages from Mom and Dad!

Glad she seems to be listening to you, though.
