Thread: Biting and Scratching

Bitey scratchy means no interactive play at all as that is encouraging him to carry on doing it you are better to play with him quietly & if you notice a change say no & walk away ignoring him,he is behaving like a child seeking attention & at the moment he sure is getting it,same with sleeping with you no way should you be getting attacked in your own bed give him his own sleeping space when he has grown up a bit & respects you as boss then you can always allow him back in if you wish although I am one of those nasty people who loves her animals but think you should all have your own space,would never allow a child to behave like that so why should your animal however spoilt,although I have only had to use it with one cat she used to have time out in her room when she was really naughty which did involve bites,to start with I had to brave grabbing her by the scruff & put her in the room but in the end she got that if she did slip up she would run off & put herself in there,eventually she turned into one of the best luv bugs ever....Of course a playmate is also a very good idea as they do love company but you might still just have to give him a few guidelines....Good luck x
