Three Month Old Persian Lunges At My Face When I Lie In Bed

[timosmom]

Does anyone have any idea why I turn into prey the moment I lie down in bed. He doesn't do it with my husband. He gives me a lot of light bites too, generally naughty disposition, but this behaviour when I'm in bed, going for my face, is a bit much, and I have to shoo him away.

sorry.. but he's a kitten, and you're down at his level. And kittens are a bit on the bitey side.

He will settle down in time but I'd offer him some really interesting toys that are more exciting than your face, and save them for when you go to bed. It's worth a try.

And welcome to TCS!

So so going only for my face is normal

 

[timosmom]

Funny thing is he does it only to me.

He knows you’re female. You’re non threatening. You’re FUN. My cat did this at the same age. He’ll simmer down. Wear him out with play before bed, so maybe he’ll sleep more and bite less!

And about his night time pouncing, I also think it's because you're his mom.

But perhaps you do have to teach him a few kitty manners. Here's an article on how to Teach Your Kitten How to Play Nice : The Humane Society of the United States

Plus How To Stop Playtime Aggression In Cats and Cat Aggression Toward People in case there's anything helpful in them.

Oh my gracious sakes!!! How to resist such a DOLLbaby!
A suggestion, give him a HISS just like his mama would when bad behavior starts.

I'm working on my HISS, right now it's a bit weak and he just stares at me.

...must be that face, I don't know if I could be very firm either

Hmmm I would either blow on him and say no or more likely if he work me up scruff him and tell him no, then ignore him. I think a scruff and no should teach him it just takes time. On the bright side it will only be months instead of years like with human toddlers

Here he is.

I think I'm in love.

Good advice from everyone else.

So his name is Timo?

 

[timosmom]
