I have a 3 month old female kitten. she WAS settling into the house nicely, but she is becoming an absolute nightmare.
things shes doing:
1)Going to the toilet anywhere but her litter tray.
2)frequent destructive energy outbursts.
3)attacking feet and hands... or.. anything around the house really.
4)has small naps of a day and climbs the walls all night.
5)only likes a small pat after she wakes up. (she isnt affectionate at all)
6)runs from us. literally bolts out of the room and hides.
7)ALWAYS (as in NON STOP) "playing" with something. anything. what ever is lying around she will scratch it to shreds (including our power cords and my make up)
all of these things are unprovoked. i just have to stand up and she goes crazy. i thought it was because she was bored, but she just doesnt want to spend time with me or my partner.
for a little while there we would tap her on her nose when she scratched us. Could that have started all this? and how do i stop her from being as destructive as she is?
