My kitten is attacking people all the time! This morning she bite my hand when I am filling up her dish with cat food. She was sitting on my lap just now and suddently she jump up and scratch my face!
I now have this scratch mark on my face :(
Is there any way to make the kitten behave? At least stop scratching and bitting people?

Mine went through this phase where she attacked me like a grisly Bear It was horrible... attacked me viciously! I had to keep her locked in the spare room for a month... If its young it could be a hormonal thing. Is it fixed? If not you should ASAP at our humane society you can go get a prepaid shot fixing kit for cheap and take it to any vet on their list! Saves you tons! If it has already been fixed... the hormones stay in their system for a while. You can go to the Humane Society if this didn't help your problems and they have animal behaviorist there and they really can help! Good Luck!
PS Had mine fixed and a month later she was a perfect kitty!

Kittens do things like that, it's just a baby and full of energy.
To stop a bad behavior you need to clap your hands and say "NO" very loudly and firmly everytime the kitten does something you don't want it to do...or instead of clapping your hands you can get a can and fill it with pennies shake that as you say no....that works also.
NEVER hit a cat or spray it with water, all that will do is cause you more behavior problems and if the water gets into the kittens ears, eyes or nose it can cause an over abundance of yeast and require a trip to the Vet.
Good luck with your kitten.

All kittens do this, some more than others. She just has to learn what is acceptable behavior and what is not. Scold her when she is overly aggressive and play with her when she is not. Is the scratching is a huge problem you can consider declawing, it is a very painful surgery and should not be taken lightly. But if it comes down to getting rid of her or declawing I would say declaw. However cats start to bite more after declawed. So that might be a problem later on. Get her lots of toys to play with. Run through the house holding a shoe string, that should burn off some of her energy. Good luck

I had a friend come over wearing a dress and Jack was in a playfull mood. He got between her legs and jumped up inside. Think he was trying to get at her garters or maybe even her panties....
very embarrassing but at least she didn't get mad. Jack was only trying to have fun.

Well, the way to make kittens sweet and nice, is when you get them, you need to give them as much love and affection as you can. Otherwise, they will be mean.
