    Have any of you boys ever had a problem with a kitten annoying cattle?? i went out one morning to feed the cows and i could see a small kitten in the field with a heifer and its only this heifer that it annoys, the kitten was trying to catch the heifers tail and will not leave it alone, the kitten then goes to the safety of the fence and washes itself and it happens everyday! I really dont want anything to happen to it.

    We had one, not a stray, used to torment a pet lamb the same way.

    He grew out of it; just playing and the tail must be irrestitible to the kitten.

    :)

    He will probably be fine; it is how cats learn to hunt after all and he will be a superb mouser/ ratter for you.

    kitten is just playing with tail
    kittens love playing, it will play with anything that swings, it will do less harm to the heifer than the heifer will do to it, as the heifer can kick back if it is really annoying,
    i would be more worried about kitten

    The kitten must definatly have a lead deficency to be behaving this way.

    I always give ones displaying these symptoms a shot of vitamin L, its easiest administered with a 12 gauge shotgu..... err, needle, and is best done when the kids are not around. I find that after their shot of Vitamin L, they are usually much quieter and more docile. It works well for almost all small farmyard pests. That or vitamin K which I usually apply with my size 11's.:)
