Need playing advice for my Kitten
Posted: Thu Apr 22, 2021 4:35 pm
Hello,
5 days ago I found a lost kitten. I tried to find the owner/mother but could not. She was dirty, cute, and wanted my attention as soon as I found her. I took her home, shes clean, eating good, using her litter box and loves to sleep. I like to play with her, she loves to play as well but I am unsure how to play with her correctly. I do not want her to be like some cats that when she gets older, she bites sometimes. I want to enforce no biting at all, but I am unsure how to do that. When we play, she likes to get on her back and I scratch her chin. She grapples onto my hand and puts my fingers in her mouth but doesn't bite. she just puts them in her mouth and kicks my hand with her back leg.
Is this normal cat behavior or is this type of play teaching her to maybe bite in the future?
