My big cat Kipper(a healthy 16 lbs) plays with my kitten a 1 lb himaylan a bit too roughly. I personally think they are just playing, untill the kitten lets out this cry of pain, and I look over, and Kipper has him pinned down and biting him all over.
These bites look harsh. I have felt my kitten for any bumps, and have found a couple little tiny bite marks. That scares me. What if Kipper bites him any harder? Could he break skin?
I have a comfort zone diffuser in 2 rooms, and Kipper has "soft paw" nail caps, To lessen the blows he lays on this little kitten.
Any help on this?? Like is there something I can do to stop him from biting? Or will he learn that the kitten isnt a chew toy?
Everytime I see this happening, I tell him firmly "NO KIPPER", and he usually backs off. But I am not here ALL DAY. So I dont know what happens when I'm gone. The kitten LOVES to play with Kipper, untill he gets hurt, and runs off under the couch(where Kipper can not get him)
