Two kittens, siblings, 10 wks old, got home from last Friday, here're a few questions:
1. They fight sometimes, I don't know if it is too rough or not... They won't hiss, but would definitely use their teeth and claws, sometimes arc their back and chase, sometimes bite each others' ears (or other places), sometimes one start to cry and we used spray to discorage them. I understand that kittens learn a lot from playing and it is very natural, but how much is too much? Also they played very nicely the first few days home, but become more aggresively from the recent two days. Why is that?
2. They can't jump high yet so sometimes when they really want to get on the couch or human's laps (
) they use their claw and climb from our legs. It hurts!!! How can we discourage that? We put shoe boxes near the couch, sometimes they use that, but most of the times they just use the easier way...
Thanks!
