11 week out-of-date kittens biting scratch, licking me?
both of them.
Teko will wake me up at 3 am licking my arms and face.
Jack will jump on my leg and verbs his claws in and bite me.
What do i do?
I take them by there scruffs and purloin them to the corner.
Doesnt help.
I dont put lotion on ... nothing so i dont know what he is licking me for?
I wouldnt mind so much whether i didnt tickel.
like now hes licking the heck and massaging/digging claws in my legs.
That's normal, they are grooming and playing with you. You could get a hose down bottle and squirt them when they do something you don't like, but the licking is kind of sweet.
Did you buy the 2 kittens or do you also have the mother?
If you buy a kitten from a proper breeder then they will not release them to customers until 10 - 11 weeks of age when they enjoy been properly socialised by their mothers. Their mothers teach them about the margins of biting and scratching and what is tolerable and what isnt.
One sign that they may have been taken from their mother too impulsive is 'milk treading' - when they knead you with their claws. If they suck on your fingers and clothes, this is a very good sign that they be too young when removed from their mother.
If your kittens are properly socialised then their behaviour is probably freshly the result of their kitten-ness and you should enjoy this stage while you can!
If you clap your hands loudly, spray them with a wet bottle, or say no firmly after each naughty way of life, then they should learn eventually what is right and wrong...then they may or may not listen to you besides!
Answers: My kitten latch on to my arms and bites/licks too. If I'm wearing a sweatshirt or long sleeves I usually just let him do it, it's his route of playing with you as if you're another kitten. If he gets too rough though, I describe him no and move him away from me (after which he just comes back and cuddles). It's typical, it's a kitten thing.
and that is the glory of have kittens. Scruffing is not really a punishment for cats, so thats doing nothing. Try clapping, saying no loudly ect. Never hit or scream at cats, it make them antisocial.
Well, that's merely normal kitten behavior. Give 'em some catnip or benadryl to chill 'em out.
well it's becasue they are babies. Baby kittens will do that stuff!

For Pete's sake...they're BABIES!! They want to play. Grabbing them by the scruff of the neck accomplishes zilch .
They love you and they are playing. And kissing you.
they are probably hungry, my kitten use to wake me twice a night with the licking and biting. I would nurture her. she would purr and go to sleep. It gradually decreased to once a hours of darkness until she was about 9 months old, next it stopped. I got to sleep thru the night, she stayed up and played.
