I have an 12 week old female. She is healthy, happy and extreamly playful. She uses her box, eats solids both wet and dry food.
Within the past couple of days she has become extremely rambunctious! Picture a child running around in a circle running into a wall, falling down then doing it all over again. She has started going nutso! Running all over, biting my face, nose and feet in my sleep.
She has been doing the same to her mommy! (I took in mommy and baby was born in my house). She's been healthy and her siblings already are off in their new homes. She also has been crazy with her litter box. I am beginning to thing we praised and spoiled her to much. We always greet her "Who's the baby?!" and when she was litter box training "Who's a good baby!! Good girl!". Now as soon as she greets us she runs to her box OR a corner and will urinate in the corner. When she is in the box she romps and spills over the litter like a mad woman! When mommy goes in "her" box she goes in right after. If I touch the box she will go in it. If I'm cleaning the box she will pee in the corner of the room near the box. I'm beginning to think she spoiled from praise and she is being very territorial over "HER" box. I have 5 cats total who don't go near her box and she absolutely adores them. Perhaps she is showing off I don't know.
She just started acting like a bratty two year old. I know she's a kitten and have had many. I wake up looking like a wild beast attacked me! The territorial peeing behavior is driving me nuts though!! I don't want to discipline her because I don't want to have a reverse effect.
When she is calm she is very clingy to me she loves people and loves to sleep with us. Once she wakes up, her kitten hyperactivity kicks in!
Any suggestions?
