Hi,
So I have this 4 month old kitten called Dobby he can be real sweet sometimes but most of the time he just wants to play, really hyperactive and is really aggressive when playing, he bites A LOT I tried everything. He draws blood with his bites, I can see that he's just playing and that he doesn't mean any harm but I and all of my family are getting fed up, we tried everything; scruffing him, giving him a time out, giving a high pitched sound when he bites then walking away, not playing with our hands or feet, playing with him for at least 10 minutes a day, firmly saying no, blowing on him and water sprays. The physical things just made him more aggressive which is why we stopped them. We have an baby in the house and everyone was telling me that if he doesn't change he's going to have to go as "the baby is more important" and that sooner or later she's going to start walking so he's a danger to her if he doesn't calm down. Help?
