I was over at my mom's friends house and i got attacked to death by this kitten. I have TONS of scratches. It is NOT a playful attack. And I never even touched it. It's a male and he's not neutered yet. PLZ HELP!

The kitten was probably just playing, they don't understand that those little claws and teeth are very sharp.
Please tell your friend to have her cat neutered.
They will also stop aggressive behavior...if you think he's attacking now you haven't seen anything until a full grown cat does the same thing!
Also having him neutered may stop him spraying if he hasn't already started and if he has started it may reduce the spraying.
His risk of cancer will be greatly reduced and he won't have the desire to find a female to mate with.
Hope that helps.

You may not think it was a playful attack, but if it's a kitten it probably was a playful attack. Kittens don't understand that their claws hurt people. Unless the cat was growling and hissing at you (in which case you did something to upset the cat and sorry to say it but it's your fault), the kitten was truly just playing.

This kitten might have had to behave like this to get food from birth. Time to reprogram, just like a baby, or puppy. Get the squirt gun out. Don't be to harsh, because we don't really know the reasoning. It is hard to give cats positive reinforcement, but find the love of its life. They are big on smel-tuna-catnip-a very little!
Pick up a book on training cats, yes very possible. They have a five hour memory span, they are smart and tricksters as you have seen. Neutering cats is more for medical health not really calming. There are are usable herbs for that, if you want to give them?!

How old is it? It technically isn't a "kitten" if it is old enough to be neutered...And that's not normal kitten/cat behavior unless the cat is ferrel

Some of these answers are good; though if you were "attcked to death", the National Inquirer will want you miraculous recovery. The little bugger is going through a phase, thats all. We ALL have wierd phases. TRY to be more forgiving.

It sounds like she is yearning atttention...and also likely scuffling with off an infection. happy to hearken to that you will be taking her to the vet quickly. As for the leaping on something that strikes - basically get her some kitten toys to save her busy.

Do you have your 'monthly'? I was attacked by a male cat that wasn't fixed when I was around my 'time'. Not much you can do, just keep your distance.
