So we have had Jack since Halloween (estimated age of 12 weeks). He was found as a stray but at that time didnt' appear to have any behavioral issues. Now that it is 10-11 weeks later some behaviors are worrying me. Number one Jack is a biter--I don't believe he is trying to hurt us he just never learned what is acceptable. The other thing is that he goes into the "scaredy cat" pose a lot (the whole arched back stiff thing) when we walk towards him or walk in his direction. We do not yell at him, or hit him (we do use a stern voice when he bites but we never raise our voice). I just want him to be happy. Is it possible he was mistreated by someone before we got him? (We assume he was dropped in the alley he came from, by someone who no longer wanted him) I want him to be at ease?
Also I didn't add this but he is very loving and plays like a normal kitten we wouldn't know how to live without him.
Thanks
Leslie
