Tigger‘s behavior is normal for a kitten. They are generally very hyper until at least a year old but every pet is different. Definitely correct him for bad behavior. It will help if you can wear him out with vigorous play every day. Use a laser pointer or a toy that he only gets when it’s play time. That way he will maintain interest in the toy longer. I hope this is helpful and please feel free to post any additional questions.
