I doubt anyone remembers me, but a couple of months ago I was on here talking about my new kitten. Well the new kitten is now about 7 months old and just everything I wanted....aside from a few key things.
Now these are things that would cause us to get rid of the little kitty, but with him being so young, I was hoping there was something I could do to nip the problem in the bud, so to speak. There are three major problems.
1. when I'm relaxing at home I like to wear a long skirt, and little MaiSai (the kitten) just loves this, he loves to crawl under it and attack from the INSIDE (by this I mean he attacks the skirt cloth, trying to attack as high up as he can jump). I swear if he was human I would have to slap him lol. I know he is just a baby and playing, but if he started doing it to a visiting friend, there could be problems. Is there anything I can do about this?
2. He has decided that since my hair goes past my shoulders it MUST be hundreds of little strings meant for his pleasure. I love that he sleeps next to me and likes to cuddle, I do not love being woken up at 3:30 in the morning because he decided it was time to get up and attack the "strings". when he "catches" it he goes on to bite and chew on it....I'm not one to worry to much about my hair, but having it eaten is a bit to far for even me...
3. He loves to attack my feet under the covers. He's very good at not attacking bare skin but he does pounce and attack with claws the moving blanket. At first this was very cute and it still is, but last night he attacked hard enough to draw blood in a long stash. and of course then I had to get up and walk all over campus on it, not fun. This one is probably my fault I admit. I have been playing with him with my hand under my blankets. I thought it was safe that way since it wasn't bare skin, but I guess I was wrong. Is there a way to fix this?
Thanks for any help. like I said, nothing huge, but if I can help now, it will probably be best in the long run....
