Hi all again,
You guys were so much help last time, thought I would try my luck again...
My kitten (now about 6.5 mths old) has developed a funny behaviour I can't explain. It's to do with biting but he only seems to bite me and not my partner. This happens especially in the mornings. He sleeps in the laundry and at about 7am either myself or my partner will get up and let him out. He comes straight into our room an is extremely affectionate to begin with, lots of purring, kisses, touching my face with his paws...but after a little while the teeth and claws come out.
So my partner sleeps in and i try to hide under the blankets. We've tried saying no firmly and also picking him up and putting him down off the bed every time he does it but he is extremely dertermined and persistant.
I'm just wondering are we doing the right thing...and also is this something he is likely to grow out of?
Thanks
Stephanie
