Thread: Does Your kitten Scratch You!

It's not necessarily a Maine Coon thing, I just think some kittens are more gentle than others.

I used to get a lot of scratches when my 2 litter brothers were kittens, because of rough play and getting 'caught in the crossfire'.
Larry is obsessed with the kitchen cloths, so when wiping a surface he would grab the cloth and my hands were often caught. He still loves this game but we are wise to it now, and always keep an eye out, and if necessary we grab another cloth and throw it to distract him.

The other 'danger zone' when it comes to getting scratched is the feeding of treats. If I hold a treat out and they reach up to grab it, sometimes they will catch my fingers. So we've learned to hold a treat nice and low for them so they don't have to stretch up for it. They have also become much gentler now they're older, and usually keep their claws in.

So you are very lucky to have such a gentle young kitten. She must have a wonderful temperament!
