Sexualised behaviour in male 4 month kitten?

Question

My male kitten has very recently taken to really excitedly l*****g (not grooming as he's done that a few times to me before) in short licks. I have a cuddly bathrobe on and notice he's always a bit licky with this anyways (and always on the left side) but this is worst. It's like he's massively excited. Just increase in over last few days - didn't notice how bad it was until now! Can hardly get peace to type!

The vet said not to neuter him until he was 6 months (UK) but he's also prone now to increasingly aggressive (never at me but at furniture and so on) spurts when he doesn't get his own way. Could this be cat-testosterone?

He's also really vocal around food and begs for it every time I'm in the kitchen - I'm feeding him what hills Science formula says but could be need more food? Or should I be exercising him more to stop this behaviour on me? It's been such a nuisance over the last few days! I want my calm kitten back!

Answer 1

Kittens go through fazes, just like children.  Sounds like he is in the rebellious one.

Answer 2

keep distracting him with a toy

Answer 3

Out-energize your cat, get him a toy, ware him out until the operation.

Answer 4

no this is normal lol, it is playing and making itself known to you

Answer 5

He's being . . . . a kitten!!

Attacking things, begging for food, running riot all over the place - sounds just like one of mine - well a combination of both actually - Toffee is the one doing the chasing, running riot and attacking furniture etc, and Smudge is the one begging for food. Toffee is 5 and Smudge is over 10 (years that is, not months!!).

If he's attacking the furniture try getting a scratching post for him - my 2 are always attacking ours, to the point that one of the posts is going to need replacing soon as the string at the top has been shredded - sharpening their claws like this is something that all cats do. Playing with him might help to calm him down - get rid of all that excess energy - even something simple like a piece of string will work wonders, and Toffee loves bits of screwed up paper (till receipts are ideal) and the bells off old cat collars.

Kittens also teeth like children do - not sure what age they lose the milk teeth for the permanent ones though.

Hope this helps!
