Alright here's what's been happening lately. Tony is about eight weeks old, I've had him for two. So I'll be sitting at the computer and he'll come and start attacking my feet. I'll pick him, tell him "no" sternly and put him on the ground. Then he'll come back, harder than the first time. I'll do this again, firmly saying "no" and put him back on the ground. This is how it's like though: I push (saying no) and he pushes back harder (attacking harder). Then I picked him up by the scruff of his neck (read that on about.cats.com) like his mother would to discipline him and held him to the ground for 3 sec and told him no. But I mean he doesn't stop! This probably went on for like 45 sec, I wasn't being violent or being rough or anything, he was attacking me like crazy though! Finally I grabbed the jar of pennies and gave it a good shake and he took off. About 20 sec later he went over to his scratching post to attack it and he's been there for about 10 minutes now, still attacking.
The last time I had a kitten I was pretty young so I don't remember it to clearly. Is this normal? Like I mean after he took off he's been pretty much just playing with his toys, and it doesn't seem like he's mad/scared of me or anything. Does it sound like I'm taking the right corrective actions? Anyone with similar experience/advice please tell me anything you got.
Thanks
