i have a kitten about 2 months old and it bites us all the time when playing with it how can we stop it?

Question

i think i'll try the jaw idea with NO, he wasnt taken away from his mother to soon im pretty sure because he came into our yard and was there for a few days and wouldnt leave so we started giving him food and water and then we decided to bring him inside, he doesnt claw at the furniture really and he goes in the litter box (except the first few times), more answers would still help, thanks

Answer 1

I just put my fingers on either sides of his checks by the whiskers and make it just a little tiny bit tight and said no in a loud voice. They will respond to the slight pressure and the voice. you can use the NO later in training for staying off counters and other things that need correcting.

Answer 2

My cat was a rescue cat and he had been tortured, so he bit if anyone came near him. I had to give him medicine with leather working gloves on. I just left him alone and let him come to me which took 3 months. When my children went to pet him he bit, I would put my hand gently over his jaw and say no. He stopped once he realized he was safe. The vet said it is also a way that cat's play with each other and he could of thought of the kids as a playmate. We tried to get another cat and he wouldn't allow it by us, wanted to destroy the other cat (my friend took that cat )and so we just have him. He is the most loving cat now. He does many things that show that he was taken away from his mother too soon. I say give the kitten time, and let it come to you, it might not want to play that much and this is it's way of telling you that. Good luck.

Carry a spray bottle for any misbehavior. Everytime he bites give a gentle spray. But make sure you do it while the action is taking place. If you don't, and spray later on the cat will not know why you are spraying him. This is also good for cats that scratch furniture.

Answer 4

My cat bit me regularly. I noticed he feared the vacuum cleaner so I parked it by my seat. When my cat bit, or looked like he was going to bite, I switched on the vacuum cleaner. He ran each time, instead of biting. After a few months he stopped biting completely.

Answer 5

I think it just grows out of it! Or get it a companion.. that'll work like magic. They'll have each other to play with and the biting will stop immensly!

Answer 6

A rolled up news paper across the nose should get the messege across.If not find a guy that trains pitbulls to fight.I bet he can find a use for the lil' turd,LOL

Answer 7

Make sure that when you try to play with kitty, you're not trying to prevoke some nipping and biting. Sometimes people think it is so cute when they try to bite you when you are playing with them, but if you don't want them to bite you ever, then make sure you don't encourage it by accident.
Hope this answer doesn't "bite." :0)

Answer 8

kittens will usually do that. But my friend always broke her kitty's bad habbits by spraying him with a water bottle. lol. Funny to watch too.

Answer 9

Gently flick the kittens ear and tell him/her NO!!!! Mother cats would quickly pin them down or bat at them with her paws.

Answer 10
