Blinker's 4th Day

Today is Blinker's 4th day at home. She is eating well, and she is basically very active until she gets too tired to play anymore.

John got part of the day off yesterday and got to play with Blinker for a while.

After I fed her this morning I sat to watch some tv as I played with her a little bit. She would still jump up onto my lap and try to attack my fingers and arms, and if I stand up to walk she'd try to bite my feet/ankles. I've already tried squirting her, shouting "no", shouting "ow", hissing at her, clapping my hands once really loudly and telling her "no".... nothing seems to work. She could be teething, or maybe she's just so used to being able to bite her playmates that even though she knows I'm displeased, she can't help but try because that is how she would play with her siblings/other cats.

Every time I'm out in the living area I'm on the defensive. At first it started out as nibbling, but now it's starting to hurt, because it wouldn't be just her teeth, she'd come at me with claws too.

Running out of ideas here, the best solution is probably to get another kitten for her to play with.

I mean I like how she's active and playful, but I really don't like the biting and clawing.

ARGH!! Why does John have to go away now??
