Question

Every time I play with my kitten, she bites me. She jumps up and scratches my arms when I'm trying to sit down on a chair. Is this normal?

Could you teach us how to meow like a cat?

To meow like a cat, tighten your throat slightly, open your mouth, and produce a short, high-pitched sound, similar to "meow," varying the pitch and length to mimic a cat's different meows.
