How can I make my cat to stop biting every one?

Answer 1

slap that cat upside the head!

Answer 2

Sorry I do not agree with anyone with these answers. Only because I had a "bad" cat who would seek out my company just to get them to pet him so he could bite them. Some cats are just unpredictable, to avoid the biting I would tell people not to touch the cat, that worked for me, or put the cat in a seperate room. Yes you can squirt a cat but if it has an attitude it will only make him/her angrier. Some cats just don't want to be bothered. Get some interactive toys and when the cat goes to bite someone pass them one, perhaps your kitty is just bored.

Answer 3

There are far too many sick answers on here!

What I would do is mention it to the vets. They will have an answer for you straight away. Too many cat lovers are not using vets to get the best of advice. You could also try looking up websites on Cats. You will be amazed how useful it is!

Good luck!

Answer 4

Answer 5

Use a squirt bottle with water and a little vinegar every time your cat does something you don't want it to. A squirt in the face doesn't hurt it, but they don't like it, and the vinegar just reinforces that. It also works on dogs.

Help for Cats Biting

Cats bite people for various reasons. Sometimes it is on purpose, perhaps due to fear, and sometimes the cat didn't intend to inflict harm, but was just playing too roughly.

Interactive play and a variety of toys around are important to help keep cats from playing rough with human bodies. Kittens may still try to use people's hands as chew toys, even if the people do have some interactive play daily with the kitten or cat and the cat has several different types of toys. Even though one comes to understand the kitten wasn't really trying to hurt, it still does hurt. One does need to correct the behavior as when the kittens get a lot bigger and stronger, they can really hurt people as adult cats, even though that was not what they intended. Adult cat teeth can inflict much more damage than kitten baby teeth, not to mention that adult cats can open their jaws wider and have stronger jaws.

Getting another kitten can be the best thing to do about a young kitten that plays rough with people's hands and feet. Kittens naturally rough and tumble with each other a lot. A single kitten still has that urge and without another kitten, a human is viewed as the next best thing. It will also help with older kittens (those over 6 months) and young cats, but first they should go through some behavior modification to cut down on their rough play and learn to use toys to play with, or the new cat will take it as an attack rather than play and then you will be needing help with fighting cats. Also, cats do need to be introduced gradually

For some kittens and cats, loud yelps of "Ow!" are all they ever need, especially if the reason behind the biting is really just playing. Some cats need a more dramatic "show", with the person carrying on a bit with the exclamations of "Ouch, that hurt! Oh my poor hand! Ow, ow." If the person overacts about how much it hurt, that is then often sufficient to make the cat quit biting, mostly because what the person is doing is a bit scary to a cat and is certainly no fun. Always start with the more mild exclamations, as some kittens get very frightened by a lot of carrying on and they may be then be reluctant to let you near them at all for a long while.

Some cats need a little more emphasis to cut it out, when yelping out loudly has not worked to stop the behavior. Occasionally, it may be necessary to push the cat away from you when it bites you as you are calling out "No bite!" or "OUCH!". Then you might put the cat in time-out for a brief while, especially for repeat offenders. But the pushing is not a smack in any manner, nor hard enough to make the cat get flung away. This technique would not be used if the cat is seriously upset about something, as it will make the cat more upset.

There is a method of disciplining cats that is similar to what mother cats do, often referred to as "scruffing" or the "hold down". You do not lift the cat off his feet, but simply hold him down onto whatever surface he is on by gently grasping the scruff. You do not press the cat hard or shake him around in anger. It is just holding him in one place for a few seconds, to show that you are the "mother", the big boss cat. It is actually a sort of time-out, a time-out from the cat being able to play. This can be effective with young kittens and some cats to help them stop biting in play, but, it should not be the first choice. With a "cocky" very assertive older kitten or an adult cat, you must take care when trying scruffing, as such cats will object to it since they do not want to be controlled, and often will quickly turn around trying to scratch you in protest as soon as you let go. So move your hand away very quickly after holding down a bold, assertive cat!



(Squirting cats with water for nipping due to play aggression is not very effective in most cases. It may stop the cat momentarily, but it does not teach the cat what to do instead when the play aggressive mood strikes. You just wind up with a wet, frustrated cat. Some cats may think of it as a game, trying to dodge the water or even to "catch" the water stream. For a cat in the "I need to play" mode, dodging water squirts may become something they accept as a kind of play with you that is better than nothing. But, a few kittens or adult cats may be put off to trying to bite in play by a squirt gun. If you use this method, you will likely need to carry around a squirt gun since if consistency is not used, a method isn't very successful.)
