Hi,
I have a 12 week old kitten (male). He shares the house with us (two adults and 4 children, -3,4 and 12).
The kitten was very playful and happy until a few days ago.
A few days ago he started to snarl at the kids for no reason, he had his paws out and just randomly started to snarl.
The kitten sees me as his mother as i am the one that feeds him etc.
He has snarled at me too and even scratched my arm deeply.
Now, when he has these episodes (which we have only had 3 in the past 3 days)he then goes back to normal.
Now, i know he isnt hurt as when he is normal i have managed t pick him up, play with him and then felt his bones for broken bones etc… all was fine, he didnt scream or anything like that.
When i play with him he is normal, starts purring when he is with me etc.
The problem is i am NOT sure what to do about his temper.
I have isolated him away from the children. I dont want any of my kids to be hurt and i am acting for their safety first.
Can anyone give me some advice on this please…?
Thank you
