All I can say is to put him on a diet. If he wants to eat all day, don't let him.

The only way your cat will lose weight is if you start restricting the number of times he is eating each day and/or the portions you are serving. If you slowly taper his food intake then he may not lash out and bite. A gradual step-wise reduction in number of feedings and portions may be better received than immediately cutting his servings in half.
Good luck!

How old is he and how much activity does he get.
If food is only available when you "feed" him, he's eating everything you give him. If you can free-feed, he'll soon realize there's always dry food out for him (you can give him canned at 'mealtimes') and won't pig out so much. However, if this is new weight and hunger, he could have a thryoid conditon and should be checked by a vet. He bites? Guess he's got an effective human-training technique, eh?

check with your vet, but we had a big cat like that. one person would get up and feed him, and he would eat it all. then when someone else would get up later he would meow by his food dish as if he haddnt eaten in weeks. and if that diddnt work he would rub against our legs or bite our ankes. Yeah, he had a pretty sweet routine down. haha. only feed him what your vet recomends, after other health issues are ruled out. and as for the biting. keep a cup of water handy. My mom happened to have a cup of water in her hand and when the cat nipped her ankles, he got an impromptu bath. And he never bit her again. hahaha.

Get him some toys like a ball or the little light he can chase. That should keep him busy and lose weight. Good luck. Keep decreasing what you feed him little by little.

Make him work for his food. I have a plastic ball with tiny holes in it and my at has to push it around to get the food out. This may work. Another thing, may sound strange, if your cat bites you bite it back gently on the ear.

go to the vet and explain the situation. he will probably give him some kind of low-cal food that will permit him to eat as he usually does, but get the normal amount of cals per day.

there are specific formulas made for overweight cats. try feeding that instead of decreasing his food.
