I never want my cat to stop biting me during her play dates which she initiates. Happiest part of our day.
Thank you for sharing your comment! It sounds like you and your cat have a lot of fun during play dates. Cats can sometimes engage in playful biting during these interactions, as it's their natural instinct. One way to discourage biting is to redirect their attention to interactive toys or play with them using a wand toy. This can help channel their energy into appropriate play behavior.
The best and fastest way to stop a cat from biting is to nip it in the bud, when it is a kitten. My cat that I've had for 13 years was a biter when he was little. They all are. It's instinctive. I broke him of this within two days. All I had to do was pop him in the face with my index and middle finger. Not hard. About the same amount of strength as a mother cat applies when one of her kittens decides to attack her and she needs to put it in its place. The idea is not to inflict pain, but merely to convey the message that "what you are doing is unpleasant, so here's an unpleasant response." The first time you do it, the general reaction is the kitten's ears go back and his mouth opens, as if to say "How DARE you!" He will probably immediately try biting again, and it is important that he gets the same result. There's no need to yell. Just a stern "No" should be enough. This may have to be done a few times, but the kitten will quickly learn that he doesn't have the upper hand and is not getting away with biting.
In my cat's case, I only had to do this twice before he got the message. One pop two days in a row. After that he never tried biting again.
This did not teach him to fear my hand. I've always been able to hold my hand out and have him come up and either give it a head-bump, or rubbing his cheek on it. I can also scratch his chest and belly. That's easy to achieve, but it must also start when your cat is a kitten. The sooner you start, gently rubbing or scratching their belly, the sooner they learn that you are not attacking them. They feel safe. Don't grab. Don't tickle.
My cat doesn't like to let me out of his sight. If I get up to go make a cup of coffee, he has to get up and follow. Same thing if I have to go to the bathroom. He regularly asks to be held and will fall asleep in my arms. This behavior comes from the fact that I have always given him his space. If I picked him up and he didn't want to be held, I'd put him down. This eliminates the fear of losing his freedom. You will find that your cat will be interested in staying close to you the more space you give them.
When I go to bed, my cat always follows the same pattern. He'll hunker down on my chest and purr for about 30 minutes. Then he lays next to me, resting his head on the crook of my arm, dozing off. Then finally he moves to one of the corners of the bed and stay there. But he's always close. He has turned out to be the most calm, laid-back and most gentle cat I've ever had.

Bite them back i did. Never happened again except play bites. Light bitting only.
Thank you for sharing your experience. While biting a cat back may seem effective, it's not a recommended approach. Try redirecting their attention to toys and provide positive reinforcement for appropriate play behavior. Consult a veterinarian or behaviorist if the issue persists. Build trust and love with your cat.
@MyPetAdventures92212 sorry butt my life is not going to be on hold for a cat that doesn't know who the boss of the house is. It will end up in the pot if it doesn't change it's ways. My house my rules. Can live a very long life. It's not in charge. By the the way I help animals when I can. But I won't bend my knee.
You have the right to set the rules in your own home. It's important to prioritize your own well-being and make decisions that align with your own values.
Does it possible that they wants attention or wants more food?... I wake up to give him food and go back to sleep (early morning) he comes back to bed and bites me😭😭😭 and not like love bites at all😅
thank you for reaching out and sharing your experience with your cat's behavior. It's possible that your cat is seeking attention or expressing a need for more food, but there could be other underlying reasons as well. Cats sometimes exhibit biting behavior as a way to communicate their discomfort or frustration.
To address this issue, here are a few suggestions:
Ensure your cat's basic needs are met: Make sure your cat has enough food, water, and a comfortable sleeping area.
Schedule playtime: Engage your cat in regular play sessions to release excess energy and provide mental stimulation.
Provide appropriate toys: Offer a variety of toys that are safe for your cat to chew and bite on, which can redirect their biting behavior away from you.
Positive reinforcement: Reward your cat with treats or praise when they display gentle and non-biting behavior.
Consult a veterinarian: If the biting behavior continues or worsens, it may be beneficial to consult with a veterinarian who can assess your cat's health and behavior.
Remember, every cat is unique, so it may take some trial and error to find the best solution for your furry friend. I hope these tips help, and please feel free to ask any further questions. Best of luck!
The ideas provided in this video are very good, but a quick stop biting tactic is just a puff 😮 of air to the cats 🐱 face.
Will try 😓
@@erikaalvarez5121 My cat Inky is 8 years old and had 2 prior owners before me, so it's hard to break him of any habit. This does work for me, I hope it works on your cat(s).
Such a valuable feedback thanks for your time...
Your comments are noticed and well appreciated....Thanks
My cat never play for toys
Some toys infused with catnip or treats can attract cats to play with them. You can try using these to see if it captures your cat's attention.
No cat can resist a laser pointer lol
