hi peverel ! i'm always happy to see someone showing love to their kitty.
krisk, my cousin says "no" in a really low growly voice to her kitten when she gets out of hand and the kitten actually does listen to her. i think it's a question of intimidation. the good news is, most kittens are wildcats when they're young but they calm down a bit as they grow up. the little bug is still really playful but a mere fraction as insane as when her name still made obvious sense.
