She is a beautiful little thing, adventurous, jumping up on my lap for a cuddle, using her litter, eating/drinking fine. However over the course of Sat/Sun/Mon her playing was getting more and more aggressive. Not intentionally so, just over excited and a bit scratchy/bitey. No matter how much I distracted her away from my hands with toys she would still try and play with them (and pounce on my feet and run up my leg!!)

Anyway looking around online for some answers I found a lot of comments re: age of separation from the litter it seems she may have missed out on some important socialising skills from her mum and litter mates. Therefore I took her back to her mum and litter mates last night and decided to pick her back up at 13 weeks. She was accepted straight back in - her mum really excited to see her and licking her all over!

But my question is, firstly do you think this will help her scratching/biting to have this additional 6 weeks with her family, and also will she remember that she did it with us and revert to doing so once back in our home?

Thanks!
