Hi guys,
I got two kittens 3 months ago that are 4 months old now. They're from the same litter, male and female. Their mother was a feral cat, and had a litter of 4 this time. They were seperated from their mother at about two weeks old. I ended up getting the two at about 5 weeks of age. Now, when I try to pet the male kitten he kinda flips over and tries to bite my wrist and fingers, and grabs me with his claws. Mind you, it's not hard...I believe he does it to play but sometimes I wonder. Sometimes I think it's because maybe I'm interrupting him from playing with a toy when I pick him up to pet him as well. Another issue I have is he likes to suckle and knead my neck! He does this every night during the night, I fight him off placing him by my thigh for him to sleep down there. I have a studio apartment, so I can't keep him out of my room as there are no doors. Both the kittens sleep with me on my bed. The girl is ok, she doesn't have these behaviors....only other thing with the both of them is they like to climb counters too. I'm actually thinking of letting them do that as my apartment is so small. I am going to be getting a bigger apartment next summer when my lease is up. I know that's a long wait, but it's just the way it is. The lady who gave me these kittens has a few cats of her own and she lets them get up there. Advice please....
