Q: This is an oldie but a goodie. Simply open a door part of the way and place a bucket filled with water above it so it rests between the wall and the top of the door. When your brother opens it, he'll be taking a little impromptu bath! This works best in the kitchen or another part of your house where it won't matter if you get water everywhere. And hey, if you can do it somewhere else, even better! Put some clear tape on the light switches early in the morning. Your brother will still be nice and groggy, wondering why none of the lights in the house work! When he sees you, tell him your house has no power. Wait for him to figure out that you're lying on his own. You can even tell him that the water in the house doesn't work, either, and see if he falls for it. Go into his room and either switch up his drawers, if that's possible, or just work to move the contents of one drawer into another until you've switched up all of his drawers. He will be completely confused and this is a perfect and unexpected prank. Plus, you can have the bonus of snooping through his things while you're at it! If he asks you if you've gone into his room, then just act completely oblivious. This one is especially fun if your brother is still growing. Just stuff a little bit of cotton in your brother's shoes. The next time he'll put them on, he'll think something funny is going on, like maybe that he's outgrown his shoes. He may even walk around like that all day if he's not smart enough to think some funny business is going on! This is perfect for boots or sneakers. This is another quick and easy prank. Get a piece of paper that's a similar color to a surface like a couch or a chair, or just get whatever color you want if your brother doesn't really pay attention to where he sits. Place some glue or double-sided tape on the piece of paper, and wait until he sits down. When he gets up, he'll be walking around with a piece of paper on his butt! This is an updated version of the always-effective "kick me" sign! This is a fun one. Show your brother that you've gotten really good at balancing a glass of water on your hand when your palm is down on a table. Bet him that he can't do it with both hands; he'll likely be up for the challenge. Then, have him put both of his palms down on a table while you place two full glasses of water over his hands. Then, say "Bye!" or "Good luck!" and casually walk out of the room. He'll be trapped -- he'll have to dump water all over himself before he can be set free!
A: Place a bucket of water over a door. Put tape over all the light switches. Switch up the contents of his drawers. Stuff cotton in your brother's shoes. Stick paper on his butt. Do the "palms down" prank.

Q: Redirected aggression is responsible for half the attacks by cats on people. It occurs in kittens when they get frustrated. When a kitten becomes aroused to the point of attack but cannot to do anything about it so she redirects her pent up emotion to the next closest thing. Often this is the person who disturbs her, and she lashes out and bites. For example, if your cat sees a bird out the window but can't attack because there is a window pane in the way, she may redirect her anger to the next thing that moves or disturbs her, like your foot. When you recognize signs of agitation, you should also try to redirect your kitten's frustration towards a toy. Once that pent up frustration is channeled in a more appropriate direction, she will become her friendly kitten self once more. Toss your kitten a catnip mouse or get her chasing a toy on a string. The key to remaining bite-free is to put some distance between yourself and your kitten when you notice her becoming agitated, frustrated, or scared. Signs that you cat is agitated and may bite include: Flattening ears. A flicking tail. Skin twitches. Wide, staring eyes. Fluffed up coat. Vocalizing low growls.
A:
Understand that redirected aggression is one of the most common reasons for your kitten to be agitated. Redirect your kitten's agitation with a toy. Recognize signs that your kitten has become agitated in the future.
