Things You'll Need
- Toys
- Scratch-post
Instructions
Keep your Siamese kitten occupied. Play with it regularly using toys that incorporate an object at the end of a long string, since this will enable you to keep your hands at a safe distance. Provide a scratching post so your kitten can exercise his claws and teeth without being destructive. Avoid playing with your kitten with your hands and feet since this will only encourage him to pounce, bite and scratch them.
Be tough and proactive. Clap your hands and say "no" in a firm voice if your Siamese attacks your feet when you are walking around the house. Purchase a collar with a bell attached, and put this around your kitten's neck to warn you of the cat's approach. Catch your kitten before it bites by watching for behaviors such as staring at your feet with pupils dilated, as if stalking prey, pinned back ears and a swishing tail.
Bring a second kitten of a similar age into the home to provide your Siamese with a partner to focus his attention on. This will allow the two kittens to freely display their predatory natures by playing roughly with one another rather than attacking you.
