Hi, I have a siamese kitten - he is only about 10 weeks old and is going through an 'attacking everything' period. I know hes playing and learning to hunt, but im starting to look like a scratching post Oh, I know this stage. The stage where if you're wearing shorts, the cat sees the back of your leg and thinks "Pouncy toy!". Ouch. Does anyone have any idea how long this stage lasts? For the entire life of the cat, though the cat will calm after a time. You can clip the claws or use Softclaws to abate some of the damage. (Declawing, as I am sure you're aware, is cruel to the cat.) -- Dennis Carr - KE6ISF | I may be out of my mind, http://www.dennis.furtopia.org | But I have more fun that way. ------------------------------------+------------------------------- Wanna email me?

Thanks everyone for your replies.
I have been shrieking when he bites, which seems to catch him off guard, and have also been using the spray bottle a few times - though - as you say - just showing it to him now seems to be enough. He is calming down day by day now, and the biting's getting softer. I also trimmed his front claws a little bit so at lest now they're blunter than the little needles they were before. I haven't had any new blood wounds for a few days now so thanks again for all your help. Rach "Rach" wrote in message ...

Not usually more than 18 years ..... David - Hello!! It's been ages since I've heard from you, but just the other day I was doing a search on the web on my name (I know - how narcissistic!) and came across the "Prissy" stories I wrote that you posted on your web site. It's nice to know you're still active in cat newsgroups, it's like meeting an old friend after years and years (what was the last time we had a discussion, 1998??). Good news, Bandit is still well and as mean as ever - she's 14 now! Anyway, good to hear from you! Hugs, Lori Crews (a.k.a. "CatNipped") CatMom to: Bandit, (a.k.a.
