I have a seven month old ginger kitten, Mojo, who bites, and this has been increasing. The bites are gentle bites although once or twice they were not.
Reading something in the introduction I think I can try a few things that might stop it. To her, it's play and I have made the mistake of buying into the game with my hands instead of putting her down to play with a toy.
Last night she wanted to play at 3.00am when I was asleep and it was a little like an assault. She got quite "angry" when I pushed her away and sunk in the claws, which did hurt.
I've been away at work most of the week, coming home quite late and I think she is perhaps acting out a little because of that.
If I send some more time with her, and play using toys, discouraging her biting that might have impact? Thanks for any advice.
