How to Stop a Kitten from Scratching and Biting: 3 Easy Steps
If a kitten scratches or uses its equally sharp little teeth, it may do so for a variety of reasons.
Sometimes such behavior of a pet is influenced by illness, stress or psychological problems - in this case, it will not be possible to resolve the issue without a veterinarian.
But most often, such behavior is typical when the pet is overcome by the excitement of the game.
In this case, you will need to take the following steps.
1. First of all, nip any attempts at aggression in the bud. This should be done, of course, without using physical violence.
Instead, you can clap your hands or splash water on the raging fidget.
2. Next is switching attention. As soon as your pet starts biting, show him that you want him to stop, then offer him to play with a light-up toy or a bouncy ball.
3. Well, the last way is to ignore.
When your kitten exhibits bad behavior, stop playing abruptly - over time, he will learn that scratching and biting means the fun is over and will stop doing it.
