OK, I realise you can't really train a cat like you can a dog, but how do you teach a kitten not to use their claws so much?
We just acquired an oldish kitten (about 6 months), he's settling in well, using the litter tray, very friendly and affectionate. But he treats us all as human pin cushions. Also on a few occasions has gently bitten hands - nowhere near enough to break the skin, but not a habit I want to encourage. I know most cats use their claws a little bit, he just seems very excessive compared to other cats I've known. Taking him to the vet tomorrow for some injections, may also see about getting his claws trimmed a bit as they do seem extremely long.
