Very bad kitten.

Question
My kitten Romeo is such a devil! He was born on February 14 (2007), but he is still a handful! He constantly attacks my other cat, Sadie (you can tell when they get into a fight because he always has tuffs of Sadie's long fur in his mouth). He also runs around the house and attacks everything he can! He also chewed on a bunch of wires (and just recently ruined my new headphone wire). We have not declawed or neutered him yet. Would that help? If not, what could solve this problem? We already lock him in a cage at night or when he's bad. Please help! Thank you!

Answer
Hi Sara,

Neutering will help immensely. I do not recommend declawing. If he chews on wires go to Home Depot or Lowes and get something called wire loom. It's in the electrical department. It is a hard plastic casing to go over wires. Cats can't chew through it. These two things will make life a lot easier for you. Good luck and let me know what happens.

Ciao, Karen
