Re: 9 week old kitten getting a bit bitey

she's just beautiful! Sorry no advice for you really (wouldnt be right to give you advice when my rumble is still a bitey cat at 8months old). But just to let you know its perfectly normal for a cat that age and most of them will outgrow it so long as you never encourage it.

Re: 9 week old kitten getting a bit bitey

i would get a playmate if possible - they learn from each other & play too, much less trouble.

to discourage biting i did high pitched 'ow' copied from what my two did if the other was too rough. they would stop & give an apology lick

Re: 9 week old kitten getting a bit bitey

The picture in the shoe in just amazingly cute.

Like others have said a very clear no, they'll learn eventually. Make sure you stick with it though. Max was a bitey cat for ages, he's fine with me now because he get's told off, but he still bites Mum. She says a rather pathetic no and then immediately strokes him again because he looks cute.

Jenny is adorable Lovely pics

I never play with Seb with my hands, he likes tummy rubs and sometimes he will bite me, when he does I give out an eeeekk sound and he'll stop and give me a shocked look or I will distract him with toys.

Re: 9 week old kitten getting a bit bitey

Hi, thanks for replies, she doesn't seem to be getting any worse and she never properly bites just mouth action.

I have tried the ouch and a spray bottle, the latter works better. I just spray it near her and the sound really put's her off biting.

I suppose she is only a bairn so not to worry too much really.

A couple of people have recommended getting a 2nd kitten to keep her company but while this is probably best for the cat I admit, I really don't want twice the litter tray, twice the bills and twice the allergy (mild as it may be)

And I also only have a small house.

Thanks again, and I'm really happy I found Jenny as she has the most cute face and features of any kitten I saw. And she was an only kitten too which I thought may have made her a bit more independent and hardy But then maybe I'm just biased
