She is 12 wks old and has a foot fetish. Shes crawls in all my shoes and takes a sock from my gym shoes and runs around eith it in her outh all day. Plus she bites... a lot. Its like she gives "love bites" She will purr while still biting you. What do I do????? Also she jumps in the tub while i am taking a shower and will watch from the ledge.

All kittens are a little crazy. Cats love feet. I can't explain it, but every cat I've owned (I've owned 4 in my lifetime) has loved feet. Shoes, socks, feet in general.
'love bites' are your cats way of getting your attention. Not all cats do this, but my black cat is over 1 year old, and still will nibble (doesn't bite hard at all) on my fingers when he wants attention. Most do it to tell you they want/need something - sometimes you're just petting them the wrong way or in the wrong place, sometimes they want food or water.... Cats CAN communicate with their owners, we just need to learn how to listen.
The 2 cats I have now curl up in my bathroom sink and sleep in it. It's a small oval shaped sink, it is NOT big enough for the both of them, but they've done that since they were kittens.
They play in the bathtub, and they will sit on the toilet and peek in at me when I'm showering..... if I'm taking a bubble bath, they hop in and sit on my knees.....
My cats are both male, but they haven't really settled down at all since they were neutered.
As cats get older, they do lose some of their playfulness, so just be patient. Eventually they will calm down. Cats play because that is how they learn. Instinctually, cats learn to hunt from 'playing' with their brothers and sisters. Cats are curious by nature, and they are very protective of their owners. They are also shy around new people.
My vet told me that cats will sit and watch while you are in the shower because they are either 1) amazed that you can stand being drenched in water 2) afraid that something bad will happen to you in the water or 3) because they like the sound of running water - - which is why those cat waterfall water dispencers work for most cats.
Just sit back, relax, and enjoy all the predicaments your cat is sure to get into! That's 1/2 the fun of watching a kitten turn into a cat.

No, she will calm down. What you are expiriencing is kitten fever! Kittens are jsut always hyper like that they love laying in shoes, biting, and making messes! She will calm down as she gets older too. Kittens are just curious about everything and they learn by exploring, and doing some stupid stuff along the way!! If she had another animal to play with, she would leave you alone more! My kitten was obsessed with annoying my older cat but now they love eachother! Good Luck!

My cat did the same thing when he was a kitten. He still likes to watch me take a bath, and sometimes drinks my bath water. If she doesn't bite hard, I wouldn't worry about it too much. If she does, a couple light taps to the head while she's biting you may help stop her of the biting habit. Not too hard, and don't wig out and think I abuse my animals. Momma cats swipe at their kittens when they get out of hand too. She should settle down when you get her spayed. She'll be really quiet for the first few days afterwards, as it is kind of a major surgery for a cat. But all cats do have their own personality, so don't worry too much about the way she acts, unless she's way too crazy and tears things up around the house. Our cat loves paper balls. As soon as you wad up a piece of paper, his ears perk up and he rubs all over your legs, waiting for you to throw it. It's like kitty crack...lol

She's a kitten. Kitten's are crazy, especially if they don't have another kitten/cat to play with. Enjoy her playfulness while it lasts, because in about 6-8 months, all she's going to want to do is sleep all day, though she'll probably still like feet!

Was she taken from a wild or Ferrell cat? Ferrel cat's have more instinctive needs for hunt-play than domesticated cats, she's using your sock because it has your scent on it and since you're not teaching her (Like her mother would have.) She is figuring it out for herself spaying helps but only very little and usually, that is to keep them from getting pregnant and giving you more Ferrell cats to have to deal with. If she is trying to get out a lot then you probably have a cat with more of a wild streak than you would like and Caesar Milian probably doesn't tame cats because cats really don't give a sh*it. They do what they want...

My kitten is the same age and he does all the EXACT same things. He's already been neutered. My vet said to just put up with it for 6 months or so. After that, he'll calm down. Kittens have lots of nervous energy, but they grow out of it.

This got here approximately to me, too. a pair days once I have been given my kitty, I had to depart for a short mutually as and as quickly as I got here back domicile, she all of sudden became into "psycho cat." i replace into somewhat aggravating in the commencing up, yet she calmed down after a mutually as. A 365 days has long previous with the aid of because that component and he or she's plenty calmer now. So, as complicated because it is in specific situations, you only could desire to attend and notice. Kittens are style of like infants, in a fashion. There are days whilst they are able to be somewhat problematic and crammed with extra potential than they understand what to do with. and in specific situations they'll try the limitations. you only could desire to attend and notice, do no longer yell at him and don't bodily punish him. whilst he's feeling extra beneficial energetic, attempt to play with him. With my kitty, whilst she replace into bouncing off the partitions, working around everywhere, i could roll a ball around on the floor so as that she'd run after the ball particularly than run around in places i did no longer want her to circulate.
