Our Emma loves to get beside you in a easy chair or if you are lying on the sofa between you and the back of the sofa. Tight spots so to speak, She becomes extremely aggressive and starts to charge and bite. My husband thinks it is a nesting behavior. She bite me on the leg three times in a manner of seconds, She would not step up and I had to pick her up by the body and she bit me twice just trying to get her in the cage. She has NEVER acted this bad. Any thoughts? |

I would guess that your husband is right. Try not to let her get into dark or tight spaces, and make sure she gets 10-12 hours of darkness each night. If she seems overly fond of a particular toy, it would be best to remove it for now.

Yeah, that's nesting behavior. You want to keep her away from spots like this. And like easttex said, make sure she gets adequate sleep. Our QP, Cupcake, immediately gets weird when she is in tight/dark spaces like this. I am constantly moving things to make sure she doesn't find new ones, and she's always on the lookout for them.

Oscar just loves dark places. Many times I will lay on the couch and he will climb all around me.... if I hold my sweater up he definitely will crawl in onto my belly to get to the dark corners. Fortunately for me... he won't bite me but just loves to explore. Then we play peek a boo. lol

Cupcake used to love to sit inside my sweatshirt. I would zip her in there and she would sit in there chewing on my shirt for sometimes 30-45 minutes. Of course, whatever shirt I am wearing is destroyed, so I really don't let her do this any more. For a while I would just use white undershirts, but I decided it was not sending the right message to let her destroy any of my clothes... And of course any small dark spaces are a bad idea too... but man did she love it  Sometimes she would crawl all the way from the neck down into the arm and out the hole where my hand is... even though she knew she could just pop out where my neck was if she was done |

Sometimes she would crawl all the way from the neck down into the arm and out the hole where my hand is... When I first got Ralph, he would do that, but in the opposite direction.  I've tried a few times to see if he'd be interested in trying that again, but no. I asked Ralph if he remembered climbing up my sleeve and he nodded, but when I asked if he'd like to do it again, he said ehhhh.  |
