She came out swatting

[catnapper]

then hissing...

My newest foster!
Her name is Mia Carmella. She is GORGEOUS and sweet, but oh-so BAD! She is a terible biter. I took her home to hopefully train her not to bite. She was taken away from her mom before/around 4 weeks old, was adopted, then two days later returned because the landlord wouldn't allow her. Re-adopted and returned 9 days later because of the biting. Then she was at a foster house separated from other cats because the foster mom had foster cats that didnt like other cats, or other various prblems that caused the fosters to be separated.

So here I come along, with my weakness for tabbies and bring hme this sweet face:


She hissed and swatted at Allen... who looked utterly surprised.


Pouncer's growling at her, and the kittens are curious, but all three hiss at each other. Should be a fun night at the catnapper hotel!

Better pictures coming after everyone settles in!

She is really pretty!! Good luck!!!

[jazzcat]

She is so adorable! Good luck with little Miss Biter.

I'm glad to see you are going to continue fostering and I promise I'll try not to convince you to keep every foster you take in.

She is so cute, and I hope she will learn to stop that biting!
Have fun!!!

She'll learn from the big cats how to behave. They will put the smack down on her.

Use a toy on a long pole, to teach play and not to bite hands. If she bites, walk away.

I know what you're going through!

Another example of what happens to kittens when they're taken too early.

We took Josie at 5 weeks. She was in a shelter so we had no idea how old she as until we took her to the vet.

She was & still is a terrible biter!

She hasn't had other kitties to teach her though, being an only furkid

I'm sure Miss Mia will learn SOON from the big cats, biting hurts!!!

Good luck!

She's ADORABLE!!! Gotta love that face! Looks like she's smiling in the first pic!

What a pretty girl indeed, I hope she learns not to bite, I don't think I could have returned her if it were me, as already I have fallen in love with her gorgeous face.

Good luck on training little Mia, it may just take lots of love , time and patience and I reckon she is in the right place to receive all of the above.

[catfamily]

She really is gorgeous.Hope she calms soon.She'll realize soon there is no threat.

[catnapper]

Oy, something better happen soon...Abby is petrified of her, and she put Pouncer in his place! He's now afraid of her! I hope they all work things out tomorrow and start playing together.

Grant says she's a sweet cat, just scared and he's been playing with her all night. I've been working on the computer and have all 4 of my guys with me. I just went and gave them their 8:00 meal and Abby followed me, and so did Mia. Abby basically growled and hissed at Mia, who grolwed and hissed back. Its funny because she is acting EXACTLY like Pouncer did to her arrival So perhaps she'll loosen up and like her new friend like Pouncer did with her. If anything is going to happen, it looks like its up to the boys - specifically Allen or Harry.

I have her in a cage right now crying her little heart out I hate having to do that. But its the best thing for the time being. I'll take her out again in the morning for supervised freedom in the livingroom.

I also hopes she calms down soon. She looks so precious, and would be even moreso if her attitude would match
I am sure with your love and attention, she will learn to calm down and realize if she bites, she wont get the attention that she wants. GOOD LUCK! she is really precious, I am already in love with her. Spunky can be good Bet your other cats would disagree

[krazyaboutkatz]

She sure is a cutie pie. Hopefully she'll be able to be socialized soon and stop biting. My Sky is also a biter but he never hurts me or breaks my skin. He's just fiesty at times. Good luck.

[catfamily]

OH... and I would trim everyone's nails.I do that whenever a new cat comes here.I clip everyone's except my 16 year old BooBoo.He needs all the help he can get at his age.LOL
It's easy if your hubby holds them on the kitchen table and they have those soft velcro masks for unpredictable ones.Trim less nail if not use to cutting them so you don't hurt them.Good Luck.Carla and Mike
