Hullo!
I really need help with Akodo, our two year old ginger male. He loves to play... with out feet and hands. He will stalk us around the house, and pounce on us at random times. At the beginning it did not hur much, but recently he has become more persistent and strong in his biting, to the point that he would pounce on my feet four or five consecutive tmes before I manage to take him off. And it hurts too. He has drawn blood a couple of times but what really worries me is that a couple of times he has tried to do it while I have a hot mug on hand or while I've been cooking, and I don't to spill hot water or oil on him!!
We've tried ignoring him, distracting him with noises or toys, before he actually pounces but nothing works. He would look at us and then keep stalking. We can't move out of room becasue we live in a studio so we have open floor and both my husband and I work from home. And for now we're alone, but what will happen when we have children?
We're both commited to keep him with us but we don't know what to do. On October we will move to a bigger apartment, and in many places I've read that a good idea is to bring a younger kitten that teaches him and keeps him occupied. Does this work? what can we do in the mean time?
Thanks!!
