what it says on the net

When complaining about this or that problem, I often forget that somewhere on the web there is at least a possible solution for almost any problem.

So here’s what I saw about kittens who bite too much, and I will try these things.

*someone said don’t use your hands to play with/wrestle a kitten, because that gets them used to the idea that your hands are toys. Makes sense. Instead, wrestle them with a stuffed animal.

*don’t punish them for biting, because it just confuses them. They instinctively want to attack swiftly moving small objects such as your hands and feet. So, use other techniques.

*as a last resort (and this is weird) stick your finger in the kitten’s mouth and press down on her tongue. For some reason this apparently makes the kitten stop biting your hand. I’ll hold that one in reserve; it sounds not too fun for either of us.
