Hi
I have a question for my 11 week old kitten and I love playing with her
For the last 2 weeks I have tried to follow the rythm: play - eat - groom - sleep. I also heard from a playtime video that you can really get everything out of a playing session by doing it in 3 strikes so: short playtime - second of rest -short playtime - second of rest - short playtime - second of rest. So I'm also doing that. I use different types of play: fishing, follow the snake, throw the ball, bounce the stuffed animal... and she is (like a kitten) super engaged.
In these last 2 days she is more and more trying her hunting skills... as in... when I'm working she is biting my arm or ankle. And on other moments, she just bursts with energy and she is all over the place. So now I'm wondering... when I see that she want to play, should I just initiate a spontanious playing session so she releases the playtime energy? Or should I hold on to the structure of 4 times playtime a day before feeding? For example, the ankle attack is not so great so when I play with her so she can attack the stuffed animal she does get calmer. But then, maybe it's not a good idea to just play with her so much?
