When I was at my friends' apartment last month with Sammy, babysitting
their daughter, I was shown the location of a spray bottle with some
water in it, and told that if the kitten did something objectionable, I
should spray him in the face. I didn't have to spray him more than once
an hour for a given undesired behavior. :)
He's a nice kitten; he lets the 3 1/2 year-old carry him around, and
seems to really like it. I'm wondering if he's going to choose *her* as
his person, if he gets to choosing a particular person.
