COS 108 Rowdy Kitten Won’t Stop Attacking Mom! (HDYTT)

Description: Dr. Andy Roark has a tough case! A rambunctious 3 month old tabby kitten won’t stop attacking his owner! He stalks her, pounces on her ankles from under the bed and rabbit kicks her hand when he gets the chance. It may sound funny, but his owner is fragile and can’t have this keep happening. Luckly, Ingrid Johnson, a feline behavior expert, is here to talk through the case and how she would tackle it.
