my kitty is 6 months old and bites and chews on everything, when will she stop this and how can i make her stop this
Answers:
have it neutered/spayed and give it its own scratch pole and toys, and train it not to bite.
at whatever age you hit it back is when it starts to learn
try a squirt bottle with water in it and set it to "jet" squirt the kitty every time she bites, worked on all three of mine...
haha, stop it now! We didnt completely curb it with one of ours, now he doesnt chew or bite, but rests his teeth on you, or whatever he is attracted to, scent-wise (shoes, clothes, etc). At 6 months, it might be a couple months too early to strongly enforce, but we just treated ours like you would a baby. Catch them in the act, GENTLY tap their snout, tell them NO firmly, without being mean, and get them interested in something else.
You can also give them an alternative. Ask your vet what dog chew toys are safe for cats, or get a refillable catnip mouse, just dont put much catnip in until kitty is a year old.
Its a love chew. My cat is 4 and she still nibbles on my arm when she wants me to pet her. Dont worry about it.
