hi im new here & desperate for advice.
2 weeks ago we were given a kitten, he was 6 weeks old I didn’t realise he was so young. He’s beautiful & we adore him but he’s so vicious - I know this is mainly play but me and my children are covered in bites and scratches. We play with him constantly, he has a cat tree, toys and constant stimulation but he doesn’t stop. So we figured maybe if he had another kitten to play with it’d help him..
They don’t get along, we kept them separate for a week, let them sniff in the carriers swapped blankets etc. I’m unsure if they’re playing or actually fighting. It does look quite vicious sometimes so I separate them. they’re in different rooms but this is getting difficult now because our new kitten wants out.
I’ve spent most of the day in tears because I’m being attacked constantly and ending up having to shut him away for a while for him to calm down.
