My kitten loves to rear up on her back legs, throw her body at my leg, wrap her front legs around my leg and bite my leg, then yeet herself off me and run away.

Luckily she understands biting and claws hurt so she manages to do this without any marks but it took...awhile.

She's a good cat.

My dog's favorite game was to have me grab his tail. He would immediately spin around and grab my wrist, and then he would bite harder and harder until I let go. As soon as I let go of his tail, he would let go of my wrist. I don't bruise easily so I was fine, but other people who tried it got bruises.

I have no idea what he got out of that game. People thought I was being mean to him, but if I held my hand out then he would walk backwards to put his tail in my hand.

That's why you get litter mates. They teach each other to play without pain.

She's learning! She does understand the ouch and stops! But yes, she should have a sibling.
