I'm not new to kittens/ ferals etc and I have a cat that we named Choo Choo because she was a young adult when we adopted her and she was very bitey. So I know the basics.
The foster litter I have now had two very bitey cats. One of them has been trained out of it but the other one is very very nippy and he nips hard. It's enough that I don't think he's ready for adoption yet. They are coming up on 12 weeks old so I've been working on them for 6 weeks. They get tons of interaction. The nippy one is very boisterous- they all are- but this one is very active.
How long does is the longest it's taken for you to train a bitey kitten out of nipping? I'm getting worried because the shelter wants to have him go to the adoption center in four weeks. So I have four weeks to resolve this issue.
