My kitten, Miley, was found by us 5 weeks ago in the inside of my mom's car hood. She was 4 weeks at the time and so of course still nursing. We began to bottle feed her with kitten formula and she was always very hungry. We continued to feed her through bottle for about 2 weeks longer. Then we started seeing if she was willing to drink cream from a small plate and she quickly cought on. We continued that until she was 7 weeks and then we started adding dry kitten food to the cream and she ate that until about 8 weeks old. Now at nine ~ 10 weeks she is eating all foods; dry, cream, can foods, and even cetching and eating flys. So as you can see, as far as we know her eating habbits are perfect and even when we got her. But there are huge concerns we have about her. We have raised 12 kittens in total before, and at the current moment we have one cat besides Miley wi ho is 3 years old and we have never expeirianced a kitten such as Miley. There are very strange things about her that haven't enproved the sllightest bit since the day we found her. One moment Miley will be completely evil like. Her ears go back and she attacks everything she sees; feet, hair, hands, furnishing, anything. And everyone in my famlily has scabs, and scratches all the way up from fingers to the four arms and from the toes to knees. We don't understand we try and be nurishing and nice to her no matter her moods but when she gets too far out of control (maybe once or twice a day) we have no choice but to spray her with a spray bottle filled with water. She will get so far out of hand daily(maybe 10 times a day) that she will chase you everywhere you go attacking you and chasing my dog (miniature bichon freise) or my cat. And at night time that's her worst behavior she seems insane... However, miley has a different personality to. One second she'll be evil and crazy and the next second she'll be overly sweet to the point were she's crawling all over you and trying to "nurse" on our clothes. And it doesn't matter how many times you set her down she keeps crawling back on you and licking you and doing the whole sweet claw thing and purring. And lets say she's acting evil to you and attacking you literally in a few seconds time she transforms into this overly sweet cat. The other thing is she hardly EVER sleeps. She deffinitly doesn't sleep at night time and hardly ever in the day. I may see her sleep once everyother day for maybe a half hour tops. We have a big house with a cat /dog door and a fenced in back yard and almost always she's inside but she does go outside sometimes and right now she's too young and hasn't yet gone beyond our fence. The other thing is no matter what personality she is she is supper clingy. She has to be where ever we, or my dog, or cat is. Please help: is she going to out grow this and/or is this a mental disorder, and/or how can we help miley and what are your tips. Thank you so very veryy much
Ps; in case this helps at all we took miley to the vet and she is a mixed exotic persin and regular calico.

She may have had a bad experience before you got her that still freaks her out causing her to attack.
Her wanting to always be near you and your pets is separation anxiety

Thanks do you think she might out grow it

I've heard this happening sometimes with kittens who are separated from their moms by death or some other mishap. Momma cats "socialize" their babies and teach them proper cat behavior. When kittens get out of hand with their mom or each other, the response is to cry loudly, which teaches the kitten that it has caused hurt. I'm not a cat "trainer", but I suggest that you try what Victoria Stillwell (dog trainer) does. When the kitten bites or scratches, make a loud cat noise, indicating you're hurt, and set the cat down immediately, or put it away from you in a room. I'd also look online for articles about this, and contact a vet and ask about it. They will probably have some good tips for you!

Good luck...

Except for the not sleeping, I didn't find anything particularly mental about this. First, I don't find anything odd about switching behaviors that quickly. Second, I've had cats that would bite and scratch a lot. Trying to be "nice and nourishing no matter her moods" sounds like you're just reinforcing that the behavior is OK when it's not. Kittens do tend to bite a lot, and I haven't much seen where you've been teaching her not to do it, or the scratching.

This calls for a bit of training, and if she's bad about it, being very consistent about it. You can follow what Ren6 said for this. I have one who is a biter and he has also been taught what "Don't bite!" means. So you can combine a firm command along with it. You can try the squirt bottle, but you would have to always have it by your side and catch her in the act all the time. (I found that difficult with my biter, so the squirt bottle was never used for that.)

You also might want to get a scratching post and start teaching her to scratch that instead of you and the furniture.

The clinginess she may grow out of.
