I don't feel bonding would be compromised as she's asleep on my lap as i'm typing

Cyberfyn - Chopped ham aye? At this rate i'll be the same! Nice to know they can calm down as young as 10 months.

I understand it's part of being a kitten and if it were just me I would not be bothered. However, my 6 year old son is now afraid of her I don't know what to do. She just randomly attacks and it's really scared him.
