Ok, Kinah is starting to drive me crazy. She's very sweet and affectionate but for some reason she always seems to be ready to attack and "kill" anything that moves. Sometimes she'll be snuggling on my lap, purring and all the sudden grabs my hand and bites it.
She also attacks my feet when they're moving under the blanket, attacks my pen when I'm writing, attacks my hair when she's lying on my lap... it doesn't stop. Anything that is in her field of vision and that is moving gets her in attack mode.
I tried hissing at her, yelling "ouch" or pushing her away and it usually stops her for a few seconds. However, it doesn't keep her from doing it again. I know she's not being mean... I don't even think it's really intentional. It seems more like a reflex than anything else... but it's driving me crazy!
She's always been like that but I always thought it was just her kitten energy. But now she's almost a year old and it's as bad as ever.
Is there anything else I can do to stop her from seeing everything as a prey? (especially my hands and feet?)
