Dandy, who is now 7 mos. old, has always been "mouthy." I've gotten wary of her licking around my face because you never know when she's going to nip me on the chin. Now when she starts that, I move her away.
I thought the biting was a little better but I'm about at my wit's end. Last night she'd been fed (so she wasn't hungry) and she jumped up in my lap and had been purring and suddenly just chomped down on my left wrist. This has become something of a pattern. I've begun to say "No" and pull her back by her scruff. Sometimes it works but she attacked again last night and I just dumped her on the floor. Afterward I wished I'd put her in "timeout." It was late and I was tired.
She's still shaking and scratching her ears although the vet (we didn't like her) looked in them with the otoscope and said there were no mites.
Any more guidance on the biting would be appreciated. Needless to say, this was not the kitten I had in mind.
