I have a 4-month old kitten and she doesnt seem to have full control of her claws yet.
For instance, when shes sitting on my lap and playing with me, she wont use her claws. But sometimes when she jumps off my lap or jumps up to me from the floor..her claws will come out and scratch me. Also..when I'm sleeping under the covers, she start clawing at my body beneath. Sometimes she'll claw at my clothes, while I'm still wearing them!
I'm constantly getting claw marks all over my arms and legs.
She used to be better at this, but lately, it seems that her behavior has regressed and she is inadvertently scratching me more often. She's also developed a bad habit of attacking my feet with her teeth and claws.
I've tried saying NO really loud, hissing at her, and the water bottle but she continues to claw me every now and then.
Is this a phase that she will grow out of? Is there something else I can do to train her how to use her claws better?
thanks!
