Definitely try to avoid the rough play! For a kitten, she gets into her play mode and she thinks that the world is her play/attack toy, including your hand. She will learn as she gets older that toys are for playing and hands are for petting, as long as you don't encourage the hand biting! If...

I like the wet food idea, she goes nuts for her favorite so that would be a great reward! I'll try letting the mouse go still more, I just get too excited when she plays that I move it a lot lol. And a few minutes ago she was playing with the whole thing and was "killing" the wand handle, so it...

Our cat Frida is 5 years old and we've had her since early January of 2016. My boyfriend and I adopted her from a shelter and don't know much about her past family, but we did "foster" her for a couple weeks before we could finalize her adoption because she needed to be spayed. (This is our...
