Hi there! Any insight or advice welcome. I am struggling living with a 4 month old RB. I’ve had her 1 month. Her name is Millie.
I have a 6yr old adult Persian (jasper). Very chilled. He has accepted her, but she totally terrorises him every day. She chaces him. Just playing, but each week is more aggressive with it. She jumps on him and wants to play fight, hits out at him. He spends most of his time outside to escape. She eats his food as he is eating. I pull her away but she never learns.
she is curious and getting into trouble often, typical kitten. I can’t leave her outside my bedroom of a night otherwise it’s constant crashing noises. This morning she jumped into the toilet and ran wet all over the house. She leaps up at me often - it’s terrifying!! And her claws hurt as she lands. Feeding her is scary as she goes crazy physical leaping everywhere.
as the weeks go on, it’s getting harder. She’s getting more confident and aggressive play and curiosity. At other times she can be incredibly affectionate. Almost too much!! Clingy. She sleeps on my head. Unfortunately I break out in hives from the smallest lick or wet nose on my skin. I wake up with a neck and face of hives most days.
I’m not sure I can cope with her! I know kittens can be a hand full and she will calm down when older, but I’m worried some of these attributes are just her personality. I’ve read she will calm down at 10-12 months (so long away!). She’s just leaped on Jasper now. She won’t stop hunting him.
how to cope!?Are RB kittens usually hyper? Will she calm down?
thanks!
