Thread: Bit of help!

Neither of ours are vicious but Monty is currently going through a very boisterous stage and keeps having to have "time out" to stop him from bullying Gracie. Rather than put him in another room which didn't seem to have much effect, he now goes into his 'naughty bag' which is his soft cat carrier in the room that we are in. Hopefully it seems to be having a more positive effect

I've heard, and it does work for me, that kittens learn how hard or ruff to play or bite by the response of their litter mates. So when Paris plays too ruff I "yipe" and she really backs off...she wants to play, but she really doesn't want to hurt me. Now if she was out to hurt me, she probably would continue.

Since I've learned this trick, playing with her is fun and not painful, she still, however, uses her back feet claws when she is leaving my lap sometimes..and that hurts...almost like she is doing that for traction.
