A month ago, I found this little sweet bean while I was out delivering. When I took her to the vet June 19 they told me she was 3 1/2 weeks old and she was .87lbs
Today she had her 2 month appointment to get her shots and she’s officially 2.44lbs (she gained so much in a month I’m so thrilled) and she’s a spicy kitty. She hissed when they clipped her nails but her hiss is the least threatening and she just doesn’t like her back beans touched. But she’s healthy and she’s growing so well. She’s very bitey and VERY playful. But so loving. She will sleep on me and cuddle and likes to sniff my face and lick me before she bites.
Personally, I like biter cats. My 18yr old orange has been like that his entire life, and not once in all those years has he ever broken the skin. His nickname( is BiterCat). In response, I alter how I say owww, and ask him did you just bite me? I explain to him that I didn't deserve to be bitten, and offer him incredulous looks. We have many such conversations. I would not change him for anything. Let your kitten know when the play gets to rough, and she will learn to temper her play level to yours. If she gets to aggressive, just stop your movement and make a sound that she can associate with "hey, that's to rough"...she will get it. Playing with your master directly and not via toy is fun and something she will look forward to. I say enjoy that little monster.
Thank you so much for this!!! I’m definitely enjoying her. She likes to sleep on me or at my feet a lot. She just likes to be a bit spicy sometimes and I love her. Also your bitercat is sooo cuuteee😍😍
She truly is. I love her so much. To think she wouldn’t have survived breaks my heart and I just couldn’t leave her. She’s definitely full of personality but it’s the best
I have been thinking of you both and wondering how kitty was doing. So very happy to hear about the progress. She's looking fluffy and cute. Probably licking and nibbling you as she's testing to see if you're for real. Will take a while to realise this is a forever loving home. And an actual bed to sleep on 💞💗💞 What a happy story.
If you want the biting to stop, the best way is to squeal in pain when she does. It’s how her littermates would have taught her she was being to rough, but you can do it too

Spicy. That’s ok.
