Hi all!
I have a question about peculiar behavior from my 7 month old male kitten. He is neutered, and was when I adopted him on October 1st. I adopted him from a shelter, and all I know about him is that he was taken from a hording house.
He is extremely, even obsessively affectionate. That normally wouldn't be a bad thing, but he seems constantly desperate for affection. He follows my every step right under my feet, climbs me when I'm standing still (and won't stop no matter how much I set him aside or push him down.) I have cuts all over my body from him climbing me, and have to cut his nails a few times a week to keep from getting torn up. Not like a normal kitten looking for attention, but literally every second I am home he is doing this.
He also gives "love bites" and is always trying so suckle on any part of skin he can. Sometimes so intensely that it hurts. I love him to death and I play with him often and love being affectionate, but it's so overwhelming and intense that I can't function without going into another room and closing the door. Any suggestions???
