Jaime says: When this foster litter came to me, the little girl Prada was a nutcase, to be honest. I found myself frustrated with her in the first few weeks because she was an incredibly aggressive kitten, especially when it came to food. I started them on bottles but quickly realized it couldn't happen with her because she would growl and spit and claw at both the bottle and my hands. Once I started feeding them by saucer with their milk, she would do the same routine to her siblings. I eventually had to separate her to feed her. She got over that within a few weeks and was fine once they moved onto free-feeding on dry food. However, she never outgrew the biting. She was SUCH a biter! I'd be sitting there playing with the rest and all of a sudden I'd feel a giant chomp down on my toe, or my heel, or my finger. She had a sweet side, but for some reason, it seemed like her instinctive need to be aggressive was especially strong in her. I'm hoping she calmed down for her new owners! They sure got a cute little handful! ;)

She looks like she could be a sweetie but as you said, maybe needed more time and attention... I too have a 5 yr old that never got out of the biting habit- luckily never too hard though!

my kitty Willie does that too. she'll get to playing and then the needles that are her teeth chomp on something tender. when she does that she gets sent away and no one will pay attention to her for a while till she calms down. but we lover her to bits no matter what.

Wonder why the white hairs in the ears... Do all black kittehs have golden eyes? If a newly adopted cat made a habit of biting me, I would not be happy. I hope she and her family are doing well.

I hope her new family could put up with her bad habits :-). I had some aggressive adoptive cats, but with some (well,a lot of)extra study & after school lessons they got the cuddle diploma in the end allright !

LOVE her big eyes!!!! :-)
My white cat, Dusty, had that same issue with biting and clawing. Many times I thought I should return him to the shelter, but I was worried about what would happen to him. So after about a year, he calmed down (but I still have to be careful, and he does not tolerate being held), and now he is so loving that he greets everyone by rubbing around their legs forever. He's part Maine Coon, and they have that exact personality--loving, sociable, but not able to be held. I hope Prada's new family is patient and very, very gentle with her. She may come along fine.

Prada is a beautiful black cat. I just wish she had more fostering with someone who could be patient with her and deal with her one on one before she was adopted out. I hope she still has a happy home....

My PandaMoo is 3 years old now and he still will nail me a good one every once in a while if I get careless. He loves to play and can never get enough but he gets too excited and then the claws and teeth come out! Love this little black beauty!
