Ever since I got Maggie, she's 8 months now, she has a thing for attacking my feet. It's usually in the morning when I'm trying to get ready. I think she's mad because I'm busy doing other things. I do stop and play with her first thing when I get out of bed, but it's like she's mad I quit. She doesn't ever clamp her teeth down hard, just enough to annoy and sometimes hurt. I'm sure she's not being aggressive--her ears are never down, she has a very playful look on her face. Most of the time she's simply underfoot constantly. Clapping loudly and saying no don't work and neither does squirting her--by the time I do this, she's already raced across the room. I love her dearly, but she's so annoying in the morning!! Does anyone else have this problem and what are your suggestions?

attacking my feet!

Mindi~ I would have to say you just have a very happy playful little kitten! My kitten, Oliver, has his timing down to a T! My husband and I crawl into bed and by the count of 10 Oliver has dive-bombed the bed and is happily racing to find whoevers foot moves even the slightest bit! I think cats like feet because they are a non-stop moving cat toy!
I wouldn't punish the kitty for it, because you might be punishing her for playing. She's a growing kitten with lots of energy! She's been waiting ALL night to play
I am awaken each morning by my feet being attacked by Oliver, Serena keeps herself close to me so I can wake up to the soothing purring and Big Boy usually wakes me up by meowing his hunger command right in my ear!
It should last at least 4 more months. A year is when they seem to calm down a bit and the thought of getting kicked or stepped on by accident is not as appealing. It may only happen in spurts then. Just hang in there and enjoy kittenhood.
