Ok, so I have a 10 month old kitten who still, though not as often as he use to, still attacks my hand on occasion. As much as I want to show him off to my parent, it’s this main point that has prevented me from doing so.
Ive tried no, which causes him to hesitate for a moment or two before doing it anyway and I had read that with foot attacking (which still happens but at a lesser rathe) to move the foot in the direction of the attack, which I have tried too with what it feels is some success but he will sometimes go back for more. I know I should get a kicking toy but is this the solution I need to break him of it? Time out in this room doesn’t seem to help, or at least not that I can tell. Or will he eventually break this habit as he ages past 1y. Doesn’t help that my elder cat won’t play with him so she can teach him the limits of play.
