I got my kitten at roughly 10-11 weeks. ( The owner was not entirely sure of her birth as she found her mama as a stray and she was already born when they found them. But based on the fact her eyes had just opened when she found them the vet guessed she was around that age. ) I was unaware of single kitten syndrome until doing my research before taking biscuit home. I’d had a cat before but I forgot what this stage looked like as I was quite young when I had my last cat. One benefit is that I am without work and so have been able to be present with Biscuit since bringing her home. We play often and I try to give her alot of attention while also trying to train out some of the less desirable behaviors. All in all she is an amazingly good little girl. She’s not too hyper, just about fifteen minutes of play seems to make her happy. She’s not destructive with my things when I leave her in my room when I leave the house and is very quiet. We live in an apartment that only allows one animal (they usually don't allow any animals but i have a ESA paper for Biscuit so it was allowed). So a second kitten was never an option.
So the reason why I’m inquiring about single kitten syndrome is because my little kitten at times likes to jump on my legs or arms and bite. No claws or uses them gently and her bites pinch but don’t break skin. I think these are just playful behaviors due to her holding herself back. Just today she jumped off my dresser and “pushed” at my shoulder before trying to tackle my arm. I left the room for three minutes and came back and she showed me she wanted food. I made a post about this behavior before and I’ve been trying different things which do seem to be slowly helping. I’ve tried to look up videos on what single kitten syndrome looks like and how I can spot it in my kitten, or is my little single kitten doing great? Feel free to ask any other clarifying questions, I know I tend to be all over the place when explaining things lol.
