7. Sounds like Arthur is helping with Merlin's socialization!

Kittens that grow up with their litter mattes learn when they are getting too rough or chomping too hard by the way the other kittens react. Some cat experts recommend letting out a loud noise like a litter mate would when a kitten bites too hard, because that's how they learn not to hurt each other.

When Arthur swats Merlin for chomping, he is helping the little guy learn how to behave like a properly civilized young cat. Way to go, King Arthur!
