When a kitten has biting and scratching behavior, it can be corrected by shouting, stopping the behavior of teasing the kitten with hands or feet, getting an extra cat, cold handling, learning to observe the cat’s body language, and helping the kitten expend energy. In addition, kittens may also bite and scratch at the stage of tooth replacement. It is recommended that owners prepare molar sticks for kittens to relieve the discomfort at the stage of tooth replacement, which can effectively improve the behavior of biting and scratching and prevent the occurrence of double rows of teeth.

1. Yell

If the kitten is playing and biting, the owner can yell at the kitten loudly to let it know that it is wrong. Be serious about this, or it will only backfire. The owner should tell the cat stop when it bites the owner again, in this case the cat can be given a treat.

2. Stop teasing the cat with your hands or feet

Many owners use their hands or feet to tease their kittens, but this is a wrong way to play with them. Because it will lead to cats chewing and scratching the fingers of the owner, thinking of them are also toys over time. Therefore, owners should never form the habit of teasing cats with their fingers. They can use toys such as teasing sticks and hairballs for cats to play with.

3. Get an extra cat

If conditions permit, you can also adopt an extra cat so that the two cats can keep each other company and are less interested in attacking people.

4. Cold treatment

Owners can also opt for cold treatment when their cats are tempted to bite and scratch. As soon as the cats bite and scratch, the owner could stop the hand and move away from cats for some distance. This will leave the cat feeling unfulfilled and sad, which will reduce aggression. Of course, if the cat become more gentle, it can be rewarded with praise and appropriate treats.

5. Learn to watch your cat’s body language

Cats make body movement before biting and scratching. For example, when a cat growls and wags its tail, it is a sign that the cat is impatient. At this time you need to get away from the cat to avoid being bitten and scratched.

6. Help your kitten burn off energy

Cats bite and scratch partly because they are very energetic and have nowhere to spend their time. Therefore, the owner should spend more time to interact with the cat and consume their energy in everyday life. If the cat get tired, it will not have the strength to bite again.
