Hi there.
I'm new round here *waves*
I picked up Lola our little black kitten 3 weeks ago. She's a feisty little thing. Alternates between wanting to lounge on your lap for hours at a time or scratch and kill any hand that gets near her (hence my user name )
I have two questions - firstly she's a tail sucker. I understand this is reasonably normal but it's making me question if the person I got her from was actually dishonest and she was younger than 9 weeks when we collected her. The only info I can find is kittens doing it when taken from their mum too early. She has always been really small but surely the vet would have told us if she was too young when she had her jabs last week?
Also as I said she's very feisty and often scratches and bites my hand. Quite hard. How do I discourage this behaviour? I have tried removing her and putting her on the floor. As well as 'crying' each time she does it. And gently blowing in her face if she's close enough. But she is often properly stuck on my hand and removing her just causes much blood
