My kitten has done the same thing. She loved playing with plastic bags, and and at some point she got the handle around her neck and freaked out. The running caused the flapping of the bag by her head to be louder, and she couldn't shake it. She ran around and around the living room faster than...

my kitten frequently feels it is her duty to knock certain things off whatever surface they are on. she'll stare right at me, and then bat something small, like chapstick etc, off of my desk. then just turn around and walk away, as if saying "yeah, I just did that. whatcha gonna do 'bout it?"...

something similar happened with my kitten. I had just gone grocery shopping and there was a plastic bag on the table she was playing with while I was putting groceries away. She was having a grand time jumping in and out etc. When she got bored, and jumped down, the had gotten her neck in...

hah, reading this I figured I had to respond and say this is exactly what my kitten (5 mos) does too, only it's generally at either 3:00 in the morning, or at 5:30 when I get up for work. she is not very affectionate, won't come near you to be petted, only playing, but like clockwork every...

yeah, it's more or less weighing the different sides of it. I'm not in this for a combative "I'm going to force you to snuggle" type of deal. As stated, there are other reasons why being able to handle a kitty is important. She gets her nails clipped regularly and she has learned to struggle...

yeah, most of that makes me feel better, and what artgecko said is mostly what i'm doing. I hold her, praise her etc, and only put her down when she stops struggling. I think i'll definelty shorten the sessions so she doesn't get as worked up over it, I might try the hissing thing too. As far...

heh, very true. Currently she is about 4 and a half months old, and not spayed yet (vet said to wait until 6 mos). i get a feeling that when i pick her up, she would just prefer to be on the ground so she could pounce on invisible spots. oh well, such is kittenhood, but the kitten kisses and...

ach, I need to take a trip on the failboat. I wasn't paying attention, this probably should have been in the behavior section. Sorreh.

Hey guys, I get the feeling that this issue is kind of a personal preference thing, but i'm curious what some people who have owned many cats throughout their lives think about this. Basic knowledge about me, I have never owned my own kitten, so I'm still a 'n00b'. Anyway, there is a school of...

yeah, hadn't thought of a litter allergy. if it persists, i'll try and pick up some different litter for her and see if it makes a difference. I have read numerous times on here that keeping very young kittens warm is crucial, and i figured she is old enough to seek out warmth if she is cold...

Howdy to the good folks here at TCS, i've been lurking on these boards for the past couple of weeks. Just got my first kitten who is now rounding the 18 week old mark, and I'm curious as to whether or not I should be concerned about a little bit of a sneeze she has had for the past couple of...
