I don't know if she's just being a kitten or if she's just really not the brightest kitty around.
When she gets to playing, she will play so hard that she starts open mouth panting. Now, when we're playing fetch this is pretty easy to control. We just wait a few minutes for her to settle down and chill. But this morning she discovered a new toy - a honeysuckle snake - and she played and played and played and played. Finally after over an HOUR of playing non-stop, hubby took the toy away (I was already at work) because she was panting and coughing because she was playing so hard. Less than 5 minutes later, she flopped down next to him and crashed - slept for over an hour.
Mojo is about 6 months old, and I swear she has ADHD.
She is so hyper and easily distracted. That wouldn't concern me at all, except that I'm afraid that she's going to play herself to death when we aren't there to make her stop.
Any ideas on how to teach her when to stop? Or am I just worrying myself over nothing? Will she outgrow this phase? Anyone else had a kitten like this?
