That lil Tuffy is living up to his name

Can you tell what he's doing to Roscoe? My poor pup is being harassed mercilessly by that wee kitten who insists upon biting the daylights out of his throat while pinned under face. And as for me I am constantly being awakened in the middle of the night because Tuffy wants to play. Soon this won't be funny anymore.

Maybe it won't be funny anymore but you won't make him stop... You've fallen in love with the brat.

Yes, you're right. He and I have gone round about his biting and hopefully he's going to stop biting me. Puppies and kittens just love to sink their teeth into flesh.

@rebelann Even cats bite when they're playing. I think they can't control themselves while having fun.

I have taught my previous kittens not to bite but the last time I had to do that was 16 years ago.

I thought maybe Tuffy was farting in Roscoe's face.

He sure is getting there but for now he's still at that Dennis the Menace stage, his holy terror phase will probably start right about the time I get him neutered.

Tuffy can not hurt him yet so he simply puts up with him trying. Roscoe has enough fur to keep Tuffy from sinking his teeth in too far

I know what you mean since Tweet Tweet who is the youngest kitten in the home likes to play rough with Bert who is around a year older.

Well, Roscoe is still at least 6 times larger than Tuffy and he has a thick fur coat so I doubt Tuffy could actually hurt him

He has to learn that biting is not an appropriate way to play. Nip it in the bud now when he is little.

@rebelann It isn't going to be so funny if he hurts Roscoe. You don't want him to bite him back..unless it is all in play of course. Kids will squabble

I don't think Tuffy will be able to actually bite Roscoe, he has way too much fur .... of course if Tuffy accidentally bites him in the tender spot on his belly that lil rascal will learn really quick not to bite.

Thank you. Actually Tuffy was trying to bite into Roscoes neck but he has a thick mane there and Tuffy's little teeth can't get through .... for now that is.

I thought Roscoe was trying to eat him, lol. Found this interesting factoid online about kitten biting. Kittens develop good manners through interaction with other kittens and their mother; other cats won't put up with being hurt. Too often kittens go to new homes before they've learned these important lessons and their owners need to teach them. Kittens don't know that teeth and claws hurt unless you explain it in kitty language the way a mother would. Here's the article link: hope it works

Yes, it's very important to teach them early and Tuffy has found out I won't put up with biting or claws and has begun to use softer methods ...... however being licked isn't fun either but at least it doesn't hurt, it's just weird.

You are correct. Tuffy is naughty and now he is focusing on getting my old cat to play with him, I hope he is successful.

I think that is the kitten playfulness coming out in her, she should outgrow that. Poor Roscoe though, he is having his patience tested over and over.

I think Roscoe is enjoying the attention but I am betting he would rather get a good nights sleep and play in the daytime.
