This is normal if she is a young kitten. About the furniture, get her a scratching post that you can find at pet stores. She will soon grow out of this and become a normal cat as she gets older. Hope I helped!

well my cat that i use to have did the same thing. when she is attacking the other cat she probably just want's to play. and rips up furniture well does she do it with her mouth or claws if she does it with her claws then she is just being her self and being silly. is she a kitten if she is thas what some kittens do and if she is biting every one its be cuz when she was a baby crowing up maybe some one got to Rufe with her while they was playing with her and as she got older now she thinks that she can get a way with it i no cuz i read in a book about cats and kittens if you play to Rufe with your kitten when they are little they will get mean with others when they get older and to help stop her from riping your furniture get a spray boodle and spray her every time you see her doing it and then pick her up and tell her NO bad girl but don't hit her and yell at her the word no say it how you would say it to your own kids if you got kids

She's going through the monster phase. All kittens go through it. I have two right now. It's like the terrible twos with a little kid. Be patient with her but try to keep her from destroying stuff. The best discipline is a squirt bottle. A sharp squirt of water when she's doing something naughty should stop her. She won't know it's coming from you. And she'll grow out of it as she matures. And as soon as she's old enough, have her spayed immediately.
Good luck!

The best thing that worked for me when my cat was a kitten was to put aluminum foil over the arms of the couches & chairs, trust me, you will only bite into a piece of aluminum foil one time, it hurts your teeth...so eventually she/he will realize that it hurts and that they cant touch that anymore...once they stop, then you can start to remove the foil. just a suggestion, my cat was tearing up my couches and a friend suggested this to me, and it worked! as far as the biting goes, spray her/him with water whenever she bites someone...she eventually realize that every time she bites, she gets wet too and will hopefully stop biting! as for attacking the older cat, they will have to work that out with each other. good luck!

The best thing to do is to get your kitten a scratching post and lots of cat toys to play with. When your kitten does something that is undesireable, spray him or her with a spray water bottle. She will get the idea that she is not supposed to do the offensive thing since cats don't like water. I wish you the best!

my cat is crazy but not that crazy. you'll want to give her cat nip toys, maybe declawed even though i don't agree with the whole declawing thing. you'll also might want to make sure you keep her nails very short. and get her scratch post. You could also go to the pet store and ask if they have any spray that will keep the cats off something. or make your own. Use pepper, lemon, and water, and put it in a spray bottle and spray the couch with it. she wont scratch it anymore.

This is normal if she is a young kitten. Get her a scratching post. Or she might be pregnant. Is your older cat a boy?

Cats are crazy by nature, you never know what you will get with them. All in all, pretty natural for a kitten, they are extremely playful to the point of destruction.

give her a spanking very light and just to scare her that is what I do to my two kittens of course that does not work 100% so pick them up look her in the eye and tell her she is wrong her tail should go between her legs afteryou can pet her and asure her of your love. That is what is real right there.

get her a scratching post and spray her with water when she does something wrong. But make sure you are consistent so that she will learn
