Cat bites
Our 1-year male, neutered cat chews wood & cardboard. As we walk
through the house, he tries to get our attention by biting at our ankles. His form of playing is to nibble & if he's angry he'll bite then run. |

When she was young and biting hard, I took her tail and closed her jaw on it. I also did it with her front paws. She learned that bites can hurt so she now love-bites softly. |

Maybe a high pitched 'ouch' (sort of like the sound a littermate would make if they were displeased) and then the loud 'no'. If kitty persists then a time out in the bathroom for 5 minutes or so. Consistency is the key though. Kitty can't be let get away with it or the biting will continue. W |

His form of playing is to nibble & if he's angry he'll bite then run. How much are you playing with him? It sounds like he has a *lot* of pent-up energy. I would do the "ow" or "no" like Wendy suggested, or have some cat toys in your pocket. When he looks like he's "in the mood" to bite your ankles, throw the toy. He'll go after the toy and not your feet. |
