It's true that cats can develop this behavior when their mothers were not around to discipline them. Have you tried redirecting his biting? When he begins to bite, grab a small toy and allow him to bite it instead, and then reward him with a treat or praise if he continues to play with it...

This is usually a lifetime habit cats develop when they are weaned from their mothers too early. My two Siamese are 7 months old and one still suckles constantly on things, the other only does it to certain textures.. You can try to redirect the suckling to something other than flesh - it seems...

We could look into it, I actually suggested getting a leash for them to try the other night at the pet store. I know cats love to be outside, I just wish our neighborhood was a bit more cat-friendly. Oh no, I'm sorry to hear that! Was it an aggression bite or a playful bite? I've tried...

Haha, yeah we started looking into their breed about 2 months into owning them, because they were causing SO much trouble that I've never had before as a previous kitten owner. We often joke about how we should have looked into it before adoption, but we love them nonetheless.  He may have, I'm...

Yeah, I was beginning to sense it may be his voice as well. I'll be sure to let him know to be more quiet around them. I've also started to blame the rowdiness on their age, it's just mind boggling how they can be so exhausted and sleep deprived yet so active at night! We've catproofed the...

Sorry for the triple post - but an update on the situation: Cat 2 has been doing a little better. He lets my boyfriend pet him without running away, but still puts his ears back and hisses often. Cat 1 has become extremely afraid of him for some reason, despite being the one who tolerated him...

We tried keeping them awake during the day, we actually kept them awake two entire days. They looked completely exhausted but as soon as the lights were off and we were in bed they started roaming and knocking things over. This continued for hours - I have no idea how they didn't just sleep. We...

We do have a garden, but the fence is easily jumpable and many of our neighbors have outdoor cats. We're pretty scared to let them outside, but we may try a leash in the future since I know cats love being outdoors.  No, they seem pretty okay when he's still. They stay in corners and act...

Thanks for the response. Not sure when they were weaned, iirc they were found at about 4 weeks old on the streets. Got them around 8 weeks old. We socialized them a lot when we first got them, after they became comfortable in their new surroundings. They were actually pretty good during this...

Sorry if double posting is against the rules - but I can't find an edit button. Another thing we Thanks for the response. My boyfriend does try to play with them, but they soon realize he's the one moving the toy (we have a long fuzzy toy on a stick, a laser pointer, balls, feathers, toy mice)...

Hello everyone of The Cat Site! I'm coming to you for help with a whole load of problems my boyfriend and I are having with our adopted kittens. We're currently going through extreme stress due to them.... I'm going to refer to them as Cat 1 and Cat 2.  So, about four months ago we decided to...
