I just adopted a 9 week old kitten. Right now he pounces on stuff and bites, and climbs up my leg and chews on me. I've read that this is all normal behavior, and he'll grow out of it. I'm sure hoping so! What I want out of Jasper is a loving, cuddly cat, like my 7 year old, Rista. Is there a way I can encourage that, or is it just going to be a matter of his personality? Right now he doesn't seem to like being held. He doesn't really fight, but he cries and squirms a little.
