Hello
Well we have had this kitten now for almost two weeks and just recently she has decided at nighttime that we are her play toy I guess.
She has taken to attacking whatever part of our body she can get and she is so mean with her biting and grabbing with her claws. It can go on for hours and Ive tried hissing at her, saying No, removing her, giving her a toy and she still will attack. My husband who was against having a kitten to begin with is getting so stress out by her because you can not sleep without her getting you.
I actually brought the kitten downstairs last night and put a gate up to keep her down with me and I slept on the couch. I dont want to continue having to do that, but Im unsure of what else to do. If I lock her in the bathroom she cries and if I lock her out of our bedroom she cries......continually.
She just wants to be near us but then shes so mean. I know shes just playing but why does she choose night time to get us. During the day shes so good and will play with her toys and does not seem to attack like she does at night. Any advice anyone could give would be absolutely wonderful.
She is going to be fixed in two weeks but I dont really think its because of that........I just dont know, but I know my husband will not let her be in our room if she doesnt stop. Im also guessing some of its just normal kitty behavior but its pretty bad. I have all sorts of battle scars from her biting. I just want to teach her that we are not to bite.
Thanks so much!!!
Oh she is now 7 weeks old...and we do totally play with her before we head up to bed around 10pm and I play with her in our room for a little while longer hoping to tire her out........and it usually works. Its the middle of the night attacks that are horrible. What a thing to wake up to at 1am....kitten chowing down on your hand/arm/leg/ FACE and she just wont stop.
