my crazy kitten

Question
i have a unspayed month old kitten who is so crazy and hyper.She always wants to play with my older cats and my family.Is she gonna be hyper and crazy even after she grows up? (We're gonna have her spayed soon).

Answer
Erica,

You have a happy, healthy normal kitten! But she needs an outlet for all that energy. Kittens at that age NEED a playmate for company, companionship, and to play kitty games with. I would recommend getting another kitten, either from the same litter, or another one about her same age and temperment for her to play with. It will take the pressure off of you to keep her amused, and give the older cats a break from your 'kitten tornado'.

She will probably be like that for a few months until she grows up and settles down. You also should play with her using interactive toys to help burn up energy. A pet laser light (from Petco, PetSmart, etc.) is great. Cats love to chase the "little red bug" on the floors, walls, ceilings, etc. Pulling a shoestring or rope around is something else cats love. Also give her little ping pong balls to bat around, or little stuffed toy mice.
