My kitten has been biting me non-stop since I got him declawed. Any idea why and how to stop it?

Answer 1

if you pulled my fingernails out i would bite you too.

Answer 2

Everyone says cats get mean after their declawed, i had no choice but to get my declawed or have them put down so of course i had them declawed and they don't have a care in the world. He may be a little sore which would definitely cause him to be grouchy and bite you. Just give him some time and give him lots of love and attention and if this doesn't help then use a water bottle and spray him when he bites. He will learn.

Answer 3

Oh for pity sakes people, give her a break.

The kitten is probably a "teenager" and they do go through a biting phase-it is the way they explore the world and they don't mean anything by it. That said, you don't want the behavior, so a sharp NO and setting him on the floor will pretty much take care of it. Once he figures out bite equals no attention, he'll come around.

Commodore, my most recent kitten, was the worst biter on the planet and I actually had to go a little further-meaning I would pick him up by the scruff (like his mother would) dangle him and say NO before I sat him down. No shaking, no anger. He's just a baby that needs to learn. And cats do learn. He comes and goes with the chihuahuas when I let them out in the backyard, and when I call he sometimes beats the dogs back in. Now if we could just overcome the toilet paper shredding....

Does he draw blood when he bites you? Did you just recently had him declawed? If he is six months to nine months old, I would say he is still teething. My two male cats are three years old, and only bite when we roughhouse with them. We taught them to be gentle by using a rolled up newspaper and slapping them on the butt, gently, and saying " Easy" when they became too aggressive. Our little female kitten is just now getting declawed, but we had her broke from biting too hard before she went to the vets.

Answer 5

Awww, the little bum is angry. I'd keep an eye on him though, sometimes cats and kittens act out because they're in pain. Watch for limping or favouring one of his paws.
A little discipline may be in order. You could bite him back.
I have 2 cats and they pretty much do what they want, including using my legs as a scratching post, and they have claws. If it's any consolation when they get older their teeth aren't as sharp. I guess what I'm really trying to say is suck it up, it's the nature of cats.

Answer 6

Maybe he is frustrated because he can't climb and do things he used to; also, because he is still a kitten it is natural for him to still be goofy. You probably already have some, but they have some wonderful feather toys and chase toys that could help little guy get some energy out and maybe directed away from chewing on mom.

Answer 7

My guess is you have a very smart kitten who knows that you are the one to blame for its pain.

Learn how to train your animals BEFORE you mutilate them! Ever hear of a scratching post? Nail clippers? There's a reason they make these things.

I hope you don't have children because if you can't train a little cat a few simple things, what the hell kind of children could you raise?

Answer 8

Yes there is give him something else to bite on.
You also could always hiss at him, because he believes you are a cat like him. It's true cat's believe that we are cats and they treat us accordingly. Your best bet is to provide something else he can bite on.
He gets into it where he starts chasing you and biting your ankles a good handy dandy spray bottle comes in handy and let him have it.

Answer 9

Why did you get him declawed? Give him something to chew on like a soft toy unless you can get his claws reattached.

Answer 10

Kittens bite
Our grew out of it
opefully yourswill too

Answer 11

Give it back its claws.Did you know having a cat declawed is the equivalent of having part of your finger removed down to the first joint.
