Lover, Not a Biter

My "frenemy" Carlito is a small black kitten. He can sometimes be very annoying. He wants to play, so he runs up and nips us to incite chasing. All he incites in me is aggravation. My mommy read an article which suggested treatments for "biters". Personally, I am a lover, not a biter. I even have a tee-shirt that says that (a photo post for the future!). Anyway, Mommy throws a toy, Carlito chases and "kills" it, and then she rewards him with a treat. This is supposed to build his self-esteem. It seems to be working. He has not nipped anyone in three days! The link is below. I know it must be difficult for him to live in the same house with a "perfect" cat....me!! You can see me in the left background, looking annoyed at that rascal. He is cute, though, for a pest!!
