Hello all!
I thought someone could give me advice on why my 1 year old kitty named Chunk sometimes attacks my 5 year old daughter. My daughter will be playing with her dolls or walking by Chunk and the next thing you know he has jumped on my daughter. Sometimes it is just a jump and run, then other times it hang on and scratch. My daughter is always nice to Chunky but is starting to get a little scared of him. Chunk has known my daughter all his life and he should be use to her. Chunk has always been very affectionate to me and I call him my baby boy. I tell my daughter that he thinks she is a cat and wants to play, but to swat him away when he gets too ruff. He use to play with his mom and his sister like this when they lived with, so I am thinking he just wants a playmate. Any thoughts or suggestions on how to get him to play nice???
