I adopted my male kitten from a shelter at the supposedly age of 2 months. Its been 24 days since he is living with us now.
The first week he was with us, his behavior made us feel that we got the perfect child. Always staying with us, purring constantly, as well as very playful.
Fast forwarding to Day 24 and now while he still is very playful, neither does he purrs nor does he stay with us anymore. Whenever I try to pet him he always tries to bite my finger which he never did the first week.
Talking about biting, I let him bite it out while ignoring him as a read online it stops kitten from from biting. But his bite which starts as play bite turns into bite with full intention of biting the finger off.
Another thing I have noticed is that he has started a new behavior. Whenever I am sitting on my chair, which is near the bed, He climbs on the bed and goes into a fighting posture with his back arched up and tail puffed (see image for reference). And when I try to go near him he will without changing his posture stick to bed and later bite me. If I try to go back when he sees my while he is in that position he pounces on me.
And this is the same cat that licks me in the night while I sleep till now.
He also switches his personality way to quick. He fights and bites us in another room but as soon as he come near the empty food bowl he begs for it in the cutest and most disciplined manner. And after having his fill he again goes into that posture whenever he sees us.
I am confused whether he loves us or not. Today he bit my mother so hard that it bled. My family was not comfortable getting him but after 2 days they loved him so much but after his behavioral change they are getting afraid of him and the consequences that might happen if he keeps this behaviour.
Please guide me as it is my first time having a cat and as well as my first post.
