Hi there, I'm new here. I got Nefertari on the 8th and we're figuring things out.
1. What is a good way to discourage bad behaviour? (With fuzzy kittens I'd spray with water but I want Nefertari to like baths, so clearly that's out).
2. She tends to attack everything - cords and plants being the most problematic. I saw posts about a bitter spray, and I may try that. Yesterday I tried lemon oil around the plant pots but that didn't stop her for long. Any other suggestions?
3. I'm wondering if it's possible to keep her out of our room at night, as unfortunately she makes us a bit itchy. On the first night I brought her bed into our room, since it was her first night away from her family. She cried out a few times... I directed her to her litter box and food/water just in case, but in the end she landed up in our bed. By the second night she figured out how to jump up into our bed and basically slept through the night. I love her snuggles but I don't love the itch and not quite sure where to go from here.
Any sort of advice would be much appreciated!
PS. The breeder said she was not a fan of baths, but last night she tolerated it!
