So I saved this kitten's life, brought her into my home, and am doing my best for her (toys, raw diet, vet care) and how does she repay me? ugh. By biting.
She will come over to me, lay on or beside me, and as soon as I touch her, she bites me. Not hard at first but gradually harder and harder followed by scratching. I do cut her nails but the behavior is bothersome.
Will she outgrow this? Is there anything I can do? I stop touching her and she is fine, like she just doesn't want me to touch her. But I leave her alone all day. I want a relationship, darn it. She does this to my husband and it doesn't bother him. But my hands are more fragile and I don't like this at all.
I am not a real hardcore 'cat' person so I don't know if I can handle this for the next 15-20 years. She is going on five months now and I am hoping it is like a teenage thing.
