I have had this thing with my kitten/cat since I first adopted her where we would play "fight" by wrapping my hand with a blanket, and as soon as I do she becomes playful and attacks my wrapped palm. Do you recommend this fighting playful behaviour?
It might be best to shift her attention to a larger stuffed toy. You can play with her in a similar fashion, but your hand won't be directly in her grasp. The toy can be a little smaller or the same size as her, and can be a newer toy or a gently used one from a thrift store. Hold the toy by the back and wiggle it at her in a similar way as you likely do when playing with your hand and the blanket. She may respond by flopping on her side or back, you can then push it to her belly or paws and let her grab ob and kick or bite to her heart's content. This serves to give you just a little distance between your hand and her claws. It's best to not use your hands to play fight with her, just in case she gets too involved and hurts you accidentally.

My kitten's hair is always standing up. There is no prey around. Is it normal? How do I get her hair to deflate? She also doesn't like to be carried or pet. When I put my hand near her, she will just bite it playfully. What do I do?
Thanks for using Boop by Petco. This can be normal for long-haired kittens. As she grows and gets her adult coat, it will start looking less silly. Playful biting is also normal for kittens. I recommend getting her a toy or two that is appropriate for her to bite and claw at. This will decrease anxiety, decrease biting at you, and strengthen your bond with each other. Best of luck to you and Jandi!

I noticed this a few days ago about Miss Kitty. I have natural curl in my hair, & since I've had her, & raised her since she was 5,6 wks old, & is now 10 yrs old, her whiskers have a curl to them. Never seen this before. Is it natural 4 her 2 take o
This is very cute! No, there is no way for Miss Kitty to have adopted your hair texture :). This is just part of her individual genetics. I have naturally curly hair too, so congratulations on having hair that looks different every day!

My kitten was spayed a couple of months ago but she still has a piece of stitches sticking in her skin. Should I worry or can I try to pull it out, it's stuck in her skin really bad.
I would leave the remaining suture alone unless it seems to be bothering Kloe. Depending on what type of suture your veterinarian uses, it may disintegrate and come out on its own over the next few weeks, or it may be a type of non-absorbable suture that is designed to stay in place permanently. If the area around the suture looks red or irritated, or if it seems to be bothering her, I would suggest taking her back to your vet to have this checked - he/she can safely remove it if needed.

My cat delivered 2 kittens, the 3rd on was still born,she cleaned it but its still attached. The 4th one came out without a problem. What should i do with the o e thats still attached???
Hi, thanks for using Boop by Petco! I would use a piece of thread to tie off the chord a little above the belly buttons (where is attaches to the kitten) then use scissors to cut the chord off (away from attachment). It will be fine. The stillborn kitten will be fine if you just cut it. For the alive kittens you should tie off a few millimeters above where it attaches to the body. I hope this helps!
