My dear, sweeeeeeet little Jasmine,
my little rescued one that I nurtured back to health... She would accept anything; I'd pick fleas out of her fur, with fur and all, and she'd just lay there and let me work on her. She was about 8 weeks old at the time. A purry little angel!
Now, at 11 weeks, she's very outgoing and social, will come when I call her, and purrs alot still. Very cuddly and nice.
However, she is definitely into alot of play, very wild at times, which I know is normal. But she is also starting to bite now and then, and will let us know if there is something she doesn't like; like if I pet her legs or stomac, she will sometimes bite me. Just starting to become somewhat aggressive.
I wonder if this is abnormal for an otherwise sweet kitty, or if it has to do with her age; starting to grow out of babyhood maybe???
Also we have a new kitten now, please see my thread called "Input on how we are introducing our kittens to each other?" I'm wondering if her behaviour is the result of the stress of another kitten in the house... Or is she just not happy here? We have tried our best to be good to her!
I really need some encouragement, I'm so stressed with all these issues, and with trying to help our kittens getting used to eachother, keeping them separate etc. To top it off, one of my dc may be allergic to the cats and the issue of whether we can keep them...
So sorry for being such a worrywort these days, I just need some help to sort it all out, then soon I'll be my happy self again.
