Hello, I am having a new problem with my kitten Jade (8-9 weeks). When I first got her she wouldn't eat. So, i use to try to let her eat off my hand and lick formula off my fingers. Now she uses her bowl and everything. That's a good thing. However I think now she thinks my fingers are a toy to play with. When I pet her she will try to bite (as if she's trying to eat my fingers.) Although, it doesn't hurt, I try to stop the habit, by saying no, and putting her on timeout for five minutes in the bathroom. Sometimes when I say "NO" she listens and licks my fingers. I also tried hissing, and yelling at her... Nothing works. Oh, and I also tried the toys.
She will bite everything, but she loves fingers.
As I was sitting at my computer a few minutes ago she tried to launch at my fingers to bite it. Off course I got angry and put her in the bathroom for time out. At the same time I feel so bad, because I can hear her cry and stuff. I don't know what else to do. I don't want her to keep the habit. I had two other cats, and they never acted like this.
