Welcome to Gaia! ::

I assume she's teething, because she's going literally mad and chewing on everything and anything she can get her paws on. XD;

She's about 12 weeks old, so I dunno if she is or isn't teething, but either way, she's chewing on everything.

I've read a good thing to give to teething kittens is a plastic drinking straw -- like the ones you'd get at a fast food place. Anybody have any other ideas? I've just given her a tough one and she seems to be pretty interested in it.

Her favorite things to teeth on are my fingers and toes, unfortunately. gonk I loves her just the same, though. crying heart

Hmm...

I haven't bought one myself, but Kong (the rubber dog chew toy that you can put food into) makes a tiny version for cats that looks like it would make a good chew toy.

The real fur mice seem to be made of some rubbery material in the middle which seems to provide some good chewing - Violet loves them and will chew them in half.

You could get some rawhide chews sized for small dogs.

You could also try giving her a cube of raw meat (maybe stewing beef) or a chicken wing with the bone in (raw only - cooked bone can splinter.) Both are great for gnawing on.

I've also seen toys in the big chain pet stores that I think are meant for teething. They're small cloth covered toys that you throw in the freezer, so they're cold and firm and probably feel really good on the gums. I wish I could remember the brand.

You could also try some of the wooden chews that are made for small rodents - I know some cats are attracted to chewing on wood.

Cardboard boxes were popular with all the kittens I've helped with (my parents kittens, and now my kittens). Not a cardboard box would go by that didn't end up "lacy" after a few hours.

My little guys would chew on my engagement ring while I was sleeping too - that was always fun to wake up to. confused

Your fingers are probably the best tool for a teething kitten, unless of course it hurts you. As mentioned before, cardboard boxes are also helpful because they like to chew the edges. 3nodding
