My kitten is extremely ill-tempered
Does anyone know how to fix this? It's a female about two months old or so... she's not fixed.
Her daily routine involves running around like crazy attacking everything in sight, and pulling everything down that she can. When we try to pet her she attacks us - and unlike other kittens I've raised before, she'll start biting in a playful way, but won't stop, and will progressively bite harder.
She's been this way since we got her.. and very rarely she'll simply be regular and affectionate for one day. As a kitten, upon waking up from a nap, within SECONDS she would be biting us.
At this point I'm just curious if this kitten is beyong repair or if anyone has any advice. We've considered getting her fixed and declawed, but unfortunately that won't fix the BITING issue!

That's not the only reason. His playing and biting doesn't bother me. This neighborhood has enough strays. No need to have mine adding to the population. Not that he'll get outside, but just in case. He's also been declawed and vaccinated.I cant spell u wrote:How mean.scourge34 wrote:Our male cat is basically the same. Just had him fixed yesterday. Already much calmer.
"Yes, my cat loves to play but it pisses me off. Time to get it fixed, he hehehehehe..."

Would YOU like to live a life without fingernails? Don't get yourself a cat if you can't cope with it having claws... Is kitty biting other people too or just you?K-mart Shopper wrote:...We've considered getting her ...declawed...

red cats tend to be more active. i have one and sometimes it just drives me crazy

the second you drop something on the floor he comes running cause to him, everything that moves is fair game

fixed n everything. he can be very sweet though. he just has this fits where he runs around, meowing like the world is about to end and attacks everything in site.
he usually bangs his head against a door or chair when he's like this. i think he has add+downs

bad luck, she wont grow out of it
