As some of you know, I recently adopted an 8 week old Siamese kitten from a breeder. NORMALLY, he's a sweetheart, but about 20% of the time, he just becomes aggressive... he will lick my hand, then start biting VERY hard.. and if I walk around, he will attack my feet. With or without socks. And will NOT let go. We've tried the basics --- yelling no, hissing, even scruffing. None work... when we scruff he resists and bites WHILE we are scruffing him... SOMETIMES he will let go if we hiss but it's working less and less.
How can we teach him that my extremities are not playthings? I don't use my hands or feet to play with him, but I know the breeder did.
And to prove the point, here he wouldn't even let me put my sock ON...
