So my kitten is 8 weeks old, I know this is young and I had planned on getting her at 12 weeks but due to some travel things it had to be earlier. Anyway, she plays literally all the time, if she's not sleeping, she's playing, no cuddles at this moment in her life. When she plays though, she's very very rough with her biting. She doesn't scratch hard at all, she prefers to use that mouth of hers.
Now I have read up on how to discourage and correct this, and the distraction with toys method works great while in actual play time, but when I'm walking and she attacks my feet and I had to resort to the squirt of water to the bum (I know it's awful but nothing else worked and she had continued getting harder) and now she barely shows interest in my feet.
Anyway, is this constant playing because of her age or is she maybe going to be an aggressive cat? She was a single litter kitty as her sibling died at birth, if that changes anything. And by constant playing I cannot stress the constant part enough!
I just hope that she wants to be with me without pouncing on my hand someday!
