Kitten Behaviour

What is standard kitten behavior?

My cousin recently got a kitten. He hasn't been to the vet yet, or been fixed - and quite frankly I don't think he will go. She doesn't understand how important things like that are. She also thinks that he's "Wild" and "Crazy" when he want's to play by jumping and using his claws. She doesn't even let him win when they play, and she is to rough ( her excuse is that he's being bad). But the thing is, when they play that's helping them grow. My Dad says that if you don't let them win, when they grow up they are mean. How do I make her understand that when he climbs up your leg, that's just things kittens do, until they learn not to? How do I let her know what standard kitten behavior is?

If the kitten is to adapt to her home and lifestyle he does need to learn limits. Stopping him when he plays with claws or climbs her legs is appropriate. It is much easier to train a kitten than an adult cat. I see nothing wrong with her choices, provided she is firm but gentle. A good book on kitten care and behaviour would be a lovely "kitten warming" gift.
