On May 5th we picked up a 6 week old, what we were told, Maine Coon SH mix. Our previous MC lived 15 yrs; came to visit one day and stayed so...my husband wanted another MC in place of Milo. We purchased Buddy from a Rescue Shelter; the people running it were extremely nice and Buddy came socialized and balanced, as well as handsome. Buddy is cream with orange stripes, rosettes, has the "lone ranger mask" markings on each side of face, as well as other Bengal markings. Today I looked at him and thought "Buddy has about a much MC in him as I do"
He has been neutered, nails clipped but is showing kitten bitting and some claw action. Is the bitting normal? Is he teething? We use a squirt-gun for discipline and try to know when he is giving love bites vs. agressive bitting. Any advise is appreciated as it is about the only behavior that drives me batty. As to another's post, Buddy seems to like water but not getting drenched with the squirt-gun. Thanks.
