She bites anything that moves, or sometimes will just attack out of the blue.. when I'm sleeping, for instance. How do i get her to stop doing this?

This might sound bad, but I have to ask. Are you hitting her when she bites you? Agressive response to agressive behavior in animals only makes it worse.
Try two things. When she bites, take away whatever she is biting, or put her in another place. Also, get a small water gun or spray bottle and spray her with water from a little way away. That way, she'll learn not do bite, but won't recognize what you're going as aggressive behavior for her to fear.

Is she biting or nipping? If she's nipping that can be a sign of affection. If she's biting and she's young, she may outgrow it. When one of my cats was a kitten, she'd bite & I'd just put her down on the floor. She may also have a "sensitive" area that should be checked by the vet. He/she may be able to give you some hints on how to stop.

Each animal seems to be somewhat unique. My daughter's cat won't stop chewing through all her electrical cords. She's at her wits end. If they're couped up in the house all the time, they may need an outlet for their natural predatory instincts. Could you buy some wind up mice and scratching posts she could attack. Also, my daughter's cat attacks if you stare at the cat's eyes.

My kitty does this, too. I wouldn't worry too much about it - it's in their kitty nature to play all the time. They grow out of it - just say "no!" loudly and snap your finger at her. Eventually she'll get the hint - (but never hit her). Good luck!

Keep her out of your bedroom and make sure she has toys to play with-hanging toys, scratch pad and a ball might get her interest.
