How do I punish a kitten?

Whenever possible, give treats, praise, and attention to your cat if it is behaving nicely. If you notice it lying next to something it used to chew, reward it. If you notice it scratching the scratching pole instead of your sofa, reward it. Your cat will quickly learn the difference between good and bad behavior.

At what age do kittens calm down?

Kittens often settle down or decrease their excessive activity levels when they are between the ages of eight and twelve months. Around the 10th week, a kitten begins to show signs of activity, which can last until the first birthday. Other cats, on the other hand, mature before their first year.

Why does my cat bite my kitten's neck?

Adopting a pair of kittens allows them “legal” outlets to wear each other out, until they outgrow the behavior by about 9 to 12 months of age. I recommend when possible that you adopt a pair of kittens together, so they teach these lessons naturally. Otherwise, it's up to us humans to teach kittens to stop biting.
