Hello everyone! I'm Ruth, mommy to Cookie who is almost three months old. Cookie is a Sokoke (Sokoke mix?) who is super energetic, loves to run, hide, jump, claw, bite, but all in fun! I currently have her in an apartment that is pet free, but I'm moving in a week and a half to a pet-friendly apartment. She has a bad habit of chasing everything (very much a kitten and I don't want to curb her too much), climbing on my laptop, moving the touch-screen, chewing the screen, and batting at my eyelashes. She's gotten better about biting me and using her claws. She understands what "no claws" and "no biting means" but she also does things she knows she shouldn't and runs away as soon as she hears me coming. She is very intelligent and, I believe, very sensitive. I read that she shouldn't be yelled at as it makes her feel upset, but she just runs away when spritzed gently and then comes right back to what she was doing as if it's a game. That's part of the problem is she's too playful and takes most things as a game. Quite the mischievous baby! Any ideas about how to discipline her effectively?
Thanks!
Thanks!
