Hi There,

I doubt that this nipping is a carryover from when your kitten was nursing, since she isn't kneading at the time. Still, it is probably something that should be discouraged, especially when she hangs on. Usually the best way to do this is to say "no" firmly and find something to distract the kitten, like a special toy.

Please reconsider having your baby declawed. It is an unnecessary, painful procedure that causes some cats to become biters. It may be the last thing your kitten needs. There are options, such as Soft Paws, which are plastic caps that fit over the claws, or keeping claws clipped and training cats to use scratching posts.

Regards,
PHKitkat
