So my cat is now a year and a couple months old. she has thing need to bit. i think its more of a security blanket for her.. some cats like to lick people my cat always has to bite my arm or hand or nose or chin.. she does it and ive been trying to get her out of it since she was a little kitten when i first bought her. as i was typeing this actually she bite the top of my hand really hard.. shes not playing but shes not fighting when he does it.. she licks then bites and i dont understand her need for it nor do i know what to do anymore. She knows its wrong because everytime i get mad at her for biteing me so backs away for a few seconds and then slowly trys to do it again in a minute or two once she thinks im not paying attention but shes laying on me so its hard for me not to notice that shes going to try it. is there anything you have tried that stopped ur cat from biting? any suggestions might help... thanks

Just look at her while in the act and give her a stern NO and tap her in the nose lightly only if she is hurting you.

Give him a little shot of water from a spray-bottle - set to stream. Let the cat know that this will not be tolerated AT ALL.
Water does't hurt them, it doesn't traumatize them, they just don't like it.
Or roll up a few pages of newspaper - the sound it makes will scare them more than the impact will hurt them.

My cat does it for attention or he'll be all sweet like your's and then just grab and hold you with his teeth. I know it's not mean, but it really hurts!! If anyone has stopped their can from doing this, I, also, would appreciate the answer!!!

my cat does the same thing...they get overly excited! my cat used to do it all the time..but i finally just tapped him on the nose and told him no no and then put him on the floor , so he finally got the messege . he still does it some times but i can tell when he starts to get really excited so i stay real calm and he calms down.

One of mine does that; I call them love bites, because he is just showing affection. Sometimes it downright hurts! so then I leave or push him away. He gives me a look like he doesn't understand. He likes to chew on my head too. I think he's just quite a lover.
