What to do if a kitten bites: should you punish your pet
Often people who decide to take a small kitten complain that their hands are covered in scratches from small but sharp claws.
And there is nothing surprising about this – domesticated predators love to attack the hands and feet of their owner.
However, if you don't want to become prey, never play with your cat with your hands.
If the cat "child" gets used to such games, it will be difficult to explain to him why today you willingly allow him to scratch and bite, and tomorrow you are angry at the same action.
The main rule is consistency.
Try to convey to the animal that you should never be bitten, even as a joke.
Hands can be replaced by a huge number of toys that can be found on the shelves of pet stores, including contactless ones.
If the kitten continues to run after you and hunt on your heels, this means that the pet is experiencing a lack of active pastime. Instead of punishment, try to devote more time to it to spend energy reserves.
