How can i stop my little angels biting? What is the best way to do this? I've read alot about getting them by the scruff on the neck and saying NO loudly and also spraying water. What is best please. Also the love getting hold of my blinds and curtains and climbing up, lemon spray is not stopping them any hints? They are house cats at the moment.
thankyou

Hi there...young kittens need repetition training with rewards in order to successfully teach them that any unacceptable behaviour will not be tolerated. Usually, the best solution for biting/scratching is to cease playing with the kittens when they begin this behaviour. Eventually as they grow older they begin to learn that this behaviour doesn't earn any attention nor affection. Reward them for not biting/scratching with special food treats such as boiled chicken cubes--something different than what they normally eat. Food motivates most animals and they learn quickly with this method. Water squirts for many cats fail since some find it a game and others become more aggressive towards the person squirting them. Cats or any animals for that matter only learn to stop doing things or avoid any unpleasant areas that they discover of their volition rather than when a human intervenes. For curtains, blinds booby-trapping the areas are the best ...consider using double-sided sticky tape (packing tape works best) on the lower half of the curtains/blinds. Cats dislike being stuck to the tape and eventually after a few failed attempts of trying eventually give up and go elsewhere.

Not a lot of things will stop them from doing this stuff because this is what cats DO. Biting and scratching and climbing are part of a cats nature and if they cant find a tree curtains will do. Bummer but there it is.

She desires some interest from you! The feather boa is an inter-lively toy --- the stick-area is your end of it. what proportion classes have you ever given her on the scratching positioned up? in case you probably did not comprehend kittens are babies, purely such as you, looks you will desire to have gottten an older cat - one that would not provide you plenty to ***** and moan approximately. Am valuable you would be delighted to be twiddling with 5 infants your age for the 1st years of your life and then have somebody take you away to stay with strangers who overlook approximately you. Animals are meant to instruct human beings a thank you to attend and notice and form - isn't it time you began discovering?

first answer got it right.
But you could buy them ascarching post or one of those Kitty gyms. That might stop them a little bit for attacking for sofa and chairs.
As for biteing there playing with each other. And sometimes you. They could also be giving you wants better know as a love bite.
