Alright. Separation anxiety???

[Pumpkinseed]

Im not putting hits into care because im putting a bunch of thoughts into one thread

I think bug has separation anxiety. I cant go to the bathroom and shut the door or anything without him freaking out and crying like hes hurt.
I'm afraid to go to my sisters for a few days because I dont know how he'll react..a nd I cant take him on a greyhound or i just would.


Next:
I think im just moody.  but normally he does his little kitty antics like "lets attack your fingers /arm/hands/feet" i let him play and nibble but when he BITES nad scratches I say NO and he NORMALLY kisses and stops. or calms down a little
but today he just ATTACKED MY FACE. And i feel bad because my first reaction was to pull him off and get him as far away and i ended up throwing him. He didnt hit anything since theres nothign to hit but I still feel bad.
theres a 2 inch scratch about a quarter of an inch below my eye though. Im seriously angry. So I put him in the living room while I'm in my bedroom.
Hense the cryin.. and scratching on my door.


ON another note" he plays fetch.
and his favorite thing is to scrounge of TRASHpretty much.. any wrappers or plastic hat makes crinkly noises He has one piece thatthe'll drag to me and wait while i crunch it up into a ball and thenwhen i throw it he'll run after it .. attack it andbring it righ tbackto me.

Is he an only kittie?  And how old is he?  Because that sounds like normal kitten behavior.  Kittens are a lot like puppies and any other babies and being alone is scary for babies.  Does he have a bed and toys...something to snuggle with?  If two kittens isn't an option for you, although I always recommend adopting kittens in pairs, then you're just going to need to figure out a way to keep him occupied.  He'll grow out of eventually.

Generally speaking, I wouldn't allow the playful scratching and biting because in my opionion it's just an invitation to escalate the behavior.  Tell him "no" in firm loud voice and he'll get the message really quickly.  Give him toys to chew on and scratch, those are natural behaviors and if he doesn't have an acceptable outlet, you're just going to get frustrated with him.

Have you thought about trying Soft Claws on him?  I found them pretty inexpensive on ebay.

And yep, it's all normal kitten/cat behavior.  He wants to play and hang out with you.  This is also why I always recommend people have two or more cats at once, the same as rats.  They need companionship to play with on their level.  Especially if they'll be spending time alone while you're at work or on a trip.  When I go to the bathroom, I typically have at least two or three cats waiting for me outside the door, with either a tail or paw reaching under the door ... 

As for playing fetch, why is that weird?  I think it's adorable.  I've had many friends with cats that play fetch!

I had thought about soft claws but had no idea what it really was or how to go about with it.

I do NOT condone the playful or so biting and scratching. Evrytime we go to the store I buy him some other toy. Because another cat is NOT an option until we move again and after Lily is born.. And after that it will probably be an older cat or something but The one thing is my husband is allergic to SOME cats (weird) and hed have to go with me.
I dont like having "lone" cats either. But...

he does sit and talk to my girls too. so he does have friends haha.
