What to do with this naughty kitten2007-11-25 12:28:56

Keep in mind, though, as far as age goes, he's still a pretty young kitten. Hopefully this method will teach him, but it might also just be something that comes with age and persistence.

You have to remember it is only a kitten and 9 weeks old is still very very young. Kittens take an immense amount of patience as I have a 6 month old and was 4 weeks when I got her. I have nicknamed her Monster if that gives you any idea how well behaved she is ;) And she does not respond to squirts from the water bottle either. I fortunately have a spare room that I keep her food, water and litter box in and when she is misbehaving I stop the behavior, firmly say no, and place her in her room for a few hours.

I'm actually quite surprised a 9 week old kitten can get on the the counter as my 6 month old is not able to and definitely has made numerous attempts to do so. Make sure you are not contributing to the issue by providing some sort of access that is enabling your kitten to get up there.

Otherwise do what others have suggested and talk to a vet for training tips.

Please be patient. Your little kitten may have been food-deprived before you got him so he feels like he has to eat like there's no tomorrow whenever food is around. My cat Milo was a stray off the streets when I first got him and no matter how much I fed him he would still knock over the kitchen trash can and eat scraps! He eventually stopped doing that. Just show him a lot of attention and play with him a lot.

Sounds like a VERY firm voice and a good spanking is at hand. My husband brought a male stray cat home awhile back and he was doing that very thing. Now IF i happen to catch him doing it, all i have to do is raise my voice a bit, with a very firm NO and he is on his way. AND, sometimes i don't even have to say anything, it's just enough for him to see me coming. I wish u the BEST OF LUCK with this.
