Is this normal MC behaviour?
hi I'm new here and live with 3 moggies and Prince Robin who is a 2 yo MC
He has a habit of often tipping over when I go to touch him and grabbing my arm, biting and rabbit kicking. the lady I got him from said his mother does it all the time but, interestingly, they had to be weaned at 4 weeks due to her having an internal problem so I don't think it is learned. Is it a common behaviour with them?
I have tried ignoring it but it hasn't got any better. I know it's only play because I still have my arm and hand!To my cost i have tried punishment - he then escalates the fight and so I don't do that or both of us will get hurt. Blowing on his face makes him stop but he is so offended at that I hate to do it. How can I show him this is unacceptable without ruining our relationship? I think he genuinely doesn't know he shouldn't do it. He does the same to my other cats and gets walloped but never learns not to do it, and to his toys and they end up shredded..
