Hello! I am a cat mom who has gotten my first kitten in years. I've had several cats before I moved out of my parents place and am very comfortable caring for them.
However, ever since getting a 2 month old kitten named Danny from a rescue last month ago, I've run into a few problems I just can't solve.
He has been biting ankles and noses (when laying down in bed or on the sofa) since we got him. My partner and I have tried everything. He is on a regular play and feeding schedule, we do not play with hands or feet. He has lots of rope toys, balls wresting toys etc. We also change his environment up everyonce and a while by putting in and taking out toys to keep things new (we do keep his favs out). Also, we leave the room and lock him out of the one we move into when he does this until his cries stop.
But he still hunts our ankles and bites. I really don't know how to stop this.. i feel like he was taken from his littermates and mother very early and now he is lacking some skills and isn't learning them from us. We've thought about bringing in another cat to have someone to hangout and play with. But I know that probably won't solve our problems.
Does anyone have any advice? I'm willing to try anything at this point. Thank you!
