Sophie's Humble Servant
This past week Sophie has "bitten" me on three occasions. Each time I was sitting on the couch. She jumped up on the couch, came right up to my hand, nudged me, then nibbled on the top of my hand by my thumb. It didn't hurt and it didn't break the skin. I yelled OW really loud then scooted her off the couch, then made her go back in her condo and shut the door.
First thing, am I handling this correctly? Secondly, why is she biting? Is it for attention? I would like to mention that I'm not encouraging her to be on the couch because she has peed on a blanket on the couch and so what I've been doing is man handling her a lot while she's on the couch to try and get her used to it. So basically, if you want to be on the couch, you're going to get petted and picked up lol. If this is a bad idea, I would like to know that too!
Thanks for your help
