I adopted a kitten who was 5 weeks old, he's at about 9+ weeks now. He violently attacks everyone in my house, leaving deep scratches and bite marks. I've heard that he just wants attention, because I work a lot. So when I'm home I shower him with affection, he still get's angry and practically eats my arm off. I've taken him for check ups, the vet's think he's fine- they tell me he's just playing. But he doesn't seem like he's playing. He growls, flicks his tail around, his ears flatten and he bites...hard. I don't like it, and I hate having to avoid him. What should I do? (Ps. I've tried the squirt bottle thing, that just makes it worse. Also, ignoring him doesn't work either. He attacks more. I WILL NOT hit my cat, to punish him. So please don't suggest that. )
