Has anyone ever had this issue with kittens in gen, I know this is common behavor but one thing has me worried. The one issue this has me concerned is that the kitten's been transfered to raw. I was laughing as he was doing it at the time.


but now I realize this is no laughing matter and could turn into a serious behavior iseue, He was riping a the base of my hair ( I have long hair) and pulling as if he thought it was meat, then he goes to my fiingers and chews them with his cutting molars, becaue hes still only 4 months old it was funny, but I wonder can a cat on raw learn to eat human, like if these was a wound on me woud he start eating at it lke a raw madalon, Gross thought I know but I was wondering.


Sense it only happened once I'm not too concerned and I made a vow that evrytime he starts this behavior I'll push him away and shout NO!

It might be just a kitten phase. Maybe get the small rawhide dog chews (like for small dogs) and put some peanut butter on it or rub chicken broth cubes on it.

Charlie likes to chew on Keno's rawhide sometimes - about the time of "teething".

No difference but someone mentioned adult teeth around 4-5 months old; however Charlie didn't seem to have real adult teeth till a lot later. Maybe there's a "teenage" tooth
