Your kitten's new habit of biting everything is most likely a typical part of her playful and exploratory phase, but it could also be a sign that she needs more interactive play or stimulation.
- Kittens often bite due to natural curiosity and teething.
- Redirecting her biting with toys can channel her energy positively.
- Monitoring for any signs of aggression or discomfort is important.
During this stage of development, it's common for kittens to bite as they explore their world. Teething can also contribute to this behavior. Providing plenty of interactive toys and playtime helps to focus their energy and reduces the biting of inappropriate objects. If you notice any signs of pain, distress, or aggression, a vet consultation can help ensure there are no underlying issues.
