anti-biting

May 16, 2011

This kitten bites way too much. It can be stopped with a particular neck massage, discovered by trial and error, that knocks her out as if it were opium. Highly effective in calming this sometimes wildcat.

Another method is what I call “The Tower of London.” If she starts going too crazy, I just lift her over my head in both hands and look at her for 10 or so seconds before bringing her back down. Whether it calms her or simply shames her, it usually improves behavior for a little while.
