Hi everyone, I'm a long-time cat lover and first-time poster here.
We recently adopted a kitten, 2.5 months old and he's been with us for 3 weeks now. He's a sweet playful kitten, born and raised at the vet before we got him. However we have a little behaviour problem. When he sees me laying down, on the floor or bed, he becomes very aggressive, his ears back, face tense, pupils dilated, angry meows...then tries to bite my arm or hand hard. He doesn't stop when pushed away or put in another room, comes back to bite more. He only does this when I'm laying down to sleep at night or early in the morning, and not all the time, sometimes he even comes to sleep near me in the afternoons. This has been going on for more than a week now, he didn't do this at first.
I'm getting scared to sleep when he's around, I would appreciate if anyone could help.
