3 Common Aggressive Kitten Problems Solved

By Luke Blaise


Solving aggressive kitten problems can be something that is very frustrating for owners. You may have already tried several behavior modification techniques but they might have all failed.

If you are currently dealing with aggressive kitten problems yourself, here are some tips on how to solve three of the most common behavior problems.

First of all, one of the most common causes of aggressive kittens is the lack of early handling by people. This is often seen in kittens who are rescued from the wild.

However this lack of early handling of kittens can be overcome if you have time and patience. Slowly build up how much time your cat tolerates being handled over time.

Another common cause of aggressive kitten problems is being raised exclusively by humans. Kittens who are raised without other kittens often do not know the difference between play biting and actual biting. So instead of guarding their teeth when they play they'll actually bite with full force.

This problem can be solved by immediately correcting your kitten when they do bite you. This can be done by immediately stopping play with them and even isolating them in a room for 10-15 minutes.

A third common aggressive kitten problem is the biting of toes. Many people experience kittens that nibble at your toes. While this might be caused by several things, the most common cause is boredom.

This could be solved by increasing the amount of exercise that your kitten gets. A simple way to do this by simply adding some toys to the house. You may even think about getting a companion kitten as well.

Consistency on your part about what type of behavior is expected from your kitten, can help your kitten behave better. This is because they absolutely know without a doubt what type of behavior is tolerated and what type is not.
