Hello everyone! I've recently been having a bit of problems with my 4 month old Siamese girl. She's started attacking me in the mornings while I'm sleeping. She never does this a night. At night she's cuddly and friendly and either sleeps curled up next to me or on her bed right next to mine. But for some reason she's taken to attacking me between 4-8 am. She generally starts by coming close to my face and biting my neck to wake me up. As soon as I'm up she jumps at me, sometimes at my face but usually at my arms and bites down HARD. And she is absolutely relentless. It doesn't matter what I do to try and deter it, she just keeps going. I've tried redirecting her with toys, no go. I've tried saying "ouch" and "no" loudly, sometimes I don't even have to try, it just comes out from the pain, but she doesn't care at all. I've tried saying no firmly then picking her up and putting her off the bed and ignoring her, but she just comes back in a few minutes and starts up again.
I really have no idea how to fix it. When I try not letting her in my room she starts meowing incessantly at the door until I let her in. The thing is, other then that four hour morning stretch, she is the cuddliest, sweetest adorable thing. She does pick fights with my dog sometimes which just usually results in him rolling over on his back as wiggles around. He hardly ever fights back and when he does it's a bark that usually tells her she's being to rough so she'll back off for a while.
I don't know if this is at all connected but she does have a problem with love bites. She's usually pretty gentle with them, but sometimes she'll be purring and head butting my check then all of a sudden go for a bite on the neck. She's still purring loudly but the neck bites hurt. Not sure how to break her of those either ...
Does anyone have any suggestions for breaking her of these habits? I'm out of ideas and starting to feel sleep deprived.
