Hey everyone, I'm back for more answers from you awesome knowledgeable folks. =D
So, the kitty I got Sunday has been incredibly sweet, greets me in the morning rubbing up against my legs and purring, is eating now, thank goodness, and using her litterbox faithfully, though I don't think the litter brand I have is that good (any suggestions are welcome). She would be the perfect kitten, except for the fact that I feel like she's getting kind of violent.
I don't know if she's teething, or if she needs her teeth brushed because her gums are itchy or what (I got her a toothbrush, she was fine with the paste, but won't open her mouth), but she seems to try to bite everything now. When I first got her, she gave kitty kisses and like, licked your fingers, maybe put them in her mouth for a second but never bit down.
She hasn't actually bitten me yet, but I don't want her to think that's okay.
My friend says her family's kittens "chewed on [them] too," and that they outgrew it, so maybe mine will too. I dunno, I just don't want her to think that's okay, y'know? When animals snap at me I get kinda scared, even if they're as little as my Luna.
She also squirms and fights when I try to hold her. She's fine being picked up, but if you hold her she squirms and pushes against you. I think she tried to bite me one time, but she missed. My other friend's cat was like that, but she never tried to bite. She just struggled really hard to get away.
How do you train a cat who won't eat treats? (Maybe the treats are too big for her? She's 11 weeks old)
Any thoughts? I'm so new at this, and really glad I have you guys to ask. Lol

okay, well about the biting...my kittens do that too, theyll outgrow it though. the thing about her struggling to get away is because she probaly feels trapped and like if she wants to get away, she cant, so if she squirms the slightest bit, put her down, and then after a few weeks shell learn that youll put her down when she wants to be put down, so shell come to you and maybe even want to be picked up. if your kitten wont eat treats, leave it alone. cats arent like dogs wholl love treats. thats like if you dont like a certain type of food, but people try to make you eat it..it gets annoying. if she persist to bite though, try punishing her, like hitting her--but not so hard to where it hurts her and shell be scared of people, just enough to scare her. oh and about the kitty liter look for one thats made for kittens..the brand i use that works really good is cats pride, theres many different kinds like for kittens and multiple cats, etc. i hope i helped =]
(Rating: 5) Thanks for the thoughts, but I wholly disagree with hitting your pets in any way, shape, or form.
I also found a treat she likes, that's good for her teeth. Yay!!
