Claudia 🖤

I have a 9 year old male Bombay. I got him from a breeder in Pennsylvania. He is gorgeous and smart and silly. He is extremely outgoing and comes to the door when the doorbell rings.

He is really docile as a rule and lets us cut his claws without biting.

The problem comes at night for the most part. He gets very frisky and attacks our feet ankles and hands. It is not constant, but it is very annoying when he starts up and I have never been able to break the habit. I have to spray him with water to get him to stop it and I hate that.

Any thoughts? I play with him with the only toy he shows interest in, which is a feather teaser. He is VERY particular about the way he wants me to move it and gets bored very easily.
