Extremly Hyper Kitten

[Joealexie]

I have a two month old kitten I've had her since she was 3weeks old, I know normally kittens are active. I can have multiple play sessions throughout the day lasting 20-40min a sessions and she is still full of energy. When I pick her up to pet her she aromatically wants to play, the only time I can get to pet her is when she's drowsy. I have two other pets, an older cat and dog, the dog usually is the one that plays and grooms her. Meanwhile my I older cat just coexist with her. The only thing I'm worried is that what if her playfulness turn into aggression later on when she gets older.

I wouldn't worry, growing up I had a super active and playful kitten that would run up the walls and sit on top of the doors every day and would always want to play (even though he played 24/7!), but he grew up to be a really calm cat who would sit on anyone's lap and love attention, even though he grew up with three other cats!

No worries there! Just continue playing with her and make sure she has things to play with so she does not get bored but she will not be agressive. What you describe is pretty usual don't worry, mine was like that we used to say she had to mode:running and sleep and nothing in between. Now at 10 month old she is already way calmer but still has days where she wants to play for 4 hours straight.

Sounds like you have a normal kitten. Focus on the activities that are the most tiring and require running/jumping.

Sounds normal. Just kitten proof EVERYTHING! Buy her interactive toys (like balls on tracks, things on springs, cat tree so she has something to climb. Box forts are always appreciated. You can always ignore a hyper kitten if you are played out. My hyper punk I would lure onto my lap with a wand toy, pet him a few seconds and go back to playing. To this day my punk gets all snugly when he wants to play.

If I had kittens again I would get or buy cardboard boxes. Stack them to create a box tower/staircase. Cut holes in them of different sizes. Glue them in said stacked position because kittens are crazy. Put random toy in the box; to be alternated and placed in a different box each day. Let your kitten go nuts.
