I am so sad and distraught.

Nevermind.

OMG, he's just a 7 month old kitten who is just playing. If you're that unable to control your anger, I would suggest finding him another home before you hurt him.
Spritzing him with a water bottle when he jumps up on the counter will keep him off it.

Thanks clm for saying that. I think this kitty needs a new home too if your anger can't be contained. It is not fair to her to treat her like this. If you aren't willing to take the time to teach her properly, and that is not "dropping her outside your room", then she needs to be rehomed.

On a personal note.......have you seen a doctor for your issues? I know from my son's problems that there are lots of free programs out there where you can get the help you need. Your doctor or an emergency room doctor can put you in touch with some. Please, do yourself and your poor baby kitty a huge favour and go get some help. My son had major issues in the past. He has been doing great for the last four years.

Please consult a doctor for your condition , don't take it out on your kitten.

Your kitten can feel your anger, whether you actually touch or speak. Your kitten is still a baby and wants to play and craves your attention. It is unreasonable for you to think that she should be showing you gratitude for rescuing her and to behave in the manner you feel she should. Cats just can't reason that way.

Please consult with your doctor about your depression and anger, there are meds and counselling out there that can help you.

In the meantime, consider rehoming your kitty before your anger takes control and you hurt that poor innocent baby who can't protect herself.

Could it be that your kitten is ailing from some medical problem? Are there others in the home that may be mishandling the baby?

I can sense your frustration and perhaps animals are not for you. Not everyone is suitable for pets...and that is ok. Please consider maybe finding another home that will maybe have more patience. Animals have a way of sensing when a human passes negative energy and they will react to it.

Please contact a rescue organization that can assist you in finding a suitable home.

I wish you the best of luck and peace of mind.

Maybe someone else in your family can take your kitten for a little while, until you get your anger and frustration under control...

Kittens are extremely playful, gosh Mako used to hunt us from behind the couch and beds... legs and arms make GREAT prey animals for a growing kitten!

Please use your best judgement and I hope that everything works out for you!

Fudge regards everything and everyone as her toy.She attacks and bites everything.Tess,Molly and Nell are her usual victims,they leave when she gets to out of control.We let her attack,but if she gets really violent we end the game.Picking up a kitten when it's in full "Attack "mode is not a good idea all the aggression will be directed to you,just let it go.Don't get mad,I know it's not easy,but it will pass.Fudge also has her own room,were she also goes for a few minute time out.We never get mad and throw her in just put her in for a few minutes to mellow out a bit!!It all seems to be working patience pays off.Besides it's still better than when Beau ate a couch or Sage tore up an entire linoleum floor when they were puppies
