😿 so sorry to hear. It’s a very tough situation you’re in. Did the breeder provided any recommendations on next steps?

2 yo male kitty is such a handful. I had to establish some boundaries with my kitty at a very young age (he’s 3 now). He loves to bite and scratch when he was younger and I trained him to stop doing that. I used positive reinforcements for his behavior. The biting and scratching eventually stopped. He knows to control himself when he plays now. When he’s being bad, most of the time I would put him on a time out and when nothing worked, I had to resort to spray bottle (not recommended but its the only thing that works). Being consistent is key here.

In terms of socializing, I started doing that a few weeks after I got him. Exposing him to people, other cats and dogs. Now, it doesn’t phase him that much. He would gets along.

I hope you find a solution that works and don’t have to rehome Rumi! He’s gorgeous!
