    Hi, so I’m back again with another question!
    The 6 day old kitten that I rescued is now 6 weeks old and is more lively than ever. She’s putting on weight well and is always very active. She also has a very good appetite and frequent poops.
    However she’s started to bite. It used to just be whenever we were playing which I could tolerate, but now it has escalated. I can’t even pick her up without her going for my hands or face! Her teeth are still too small to draw blood, however I’m worried that this behaviour will carry on into adulthood.
    She is not afraid of me as she loves to play with me and jump all over me. She also loves to fall asleep on me. I just don’t understand how I can stop the biting! I have tried refusing to give her attention whenever she does it and praising when she allows me to pet her, but it just isn’t working. Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

    Hi Gemma,

    I’m glad your girl is doing great. What’s her name? She thinks of you as her meowmy and treats you as such.

    Here’s some of the best info on teaching your kitten.

    Thank you very much for that link! I’ll try some of the methods suggested. I named her Boo, here’s a video of her when she was still being bottle fed.

    Oh my gosh, your little BOO kitty is precious drinking her milk! I love bottle babies. Looks like she figured it out and is doing wonderfully!
