How to Stop Scratching and Biting
Kittens love to scratch and bite, and it can be really frustrating when they do it all the time. Thankfully, there are ways to stop them from scratching and biting without resorting to harsh measures. The first step is to train your kitten by rewarding them when they behave in a certain way. This can be done by rewarding them with food or playtime, or by using toys that can be used as scratching posts or biting targets. It's important to be patient - the training process will take time to work properly. Keep a close eye on your kitten at all times, and remove any items that can potentially be used as scratching posts or biting targets.
