We recently adopted a new cat. Her name is Katie and she turns a year old this month. She and our other cat, Spencer, who will be 2 in August, get along just fine. Katie is ALL kitten...she is SUPER playful and active. She loves cat toys, food, running around the house, etc. She can also be super purry and affectionate. She is just a great cat all around.
The problem is, she is a BITER! We never had this with Lily or Spencer, so we don't know what to do! She never bites hard enough to break the skin - they are "play bites" I guess - but it's driving us crazy! She mostly bites when she is very happy, purring, wanting us to pet her, then she bites. It's almost like she thinks they are "love bites" or something. The happier she is, the more she bites. We have tried saying "NO" sharply - that doesn't work. We have tried just walking away and completely ignoring her, but she just bites again the next time we're around her. It's so frustrating! Someone help please??
