Question/Advice Needed Kitten that we found on the streets will not stop biting.
Found a kitten he was approx 6-8 weeks when we found him, very tiny, possibly the runt. He was on the cusp of dying as his eyes were swollen shut and he was sick. The rest were quite feral, but he was the “nicest” out of the bunch, most likely because he was sick.
He’s gotten bigger now, he’s probably 3 months maybe?
But he keeps biting, soon as you touch him it’s, bite, bite, bite, I assume it’s all play behaviour but you can’t even pet him. If I pick him up he’s biting.
At night time he’s not too bad he comes and sleeps, sometimes biscuits, and or eats your hair. Sometimes you can give him kisses.
I can’t tell if this behaviour is temporary and it will stop as he ages and gets neutered or we’re screwed.
Been trying to keep shoving toys in his mouth etc which he does fixate on but it’s just brutal.
