Seamus just turned two a couple months ago, and I've had him 2 years this December.. he's been neutered and now for the first time since I got him he's developing these terrible habits... biting my ankles, biting my arms when he wants me to play or when I shift if he's laying down with me on the couch (never hard, doesn't even hurt), running around like a maniac, jumping on my face to get me up on weekends, sitting at the fridge when I go in the fridge expecting food (I rarely give him anything human), knocking things over, jumping on the coffee table blocking my view of the TV, hitting my plate as I eat...
I thought I did a good job of teaching him his boundaries when he was younger, and there really aren't many, but lately, he's turned into hyper monster kitty... is it just his age? Will he grow out of this new phase or should I start being firmer with him? None of what he does is malicious, so I don't want to punish him constantly for stupid things that really aren't a big deal, but I don't want him acting like this forever either... maybe I've just spoiled him rotten
