[stant093]

ok, so ive had a few kittens in the past, most been good, maybe a little evil streak, but still loving....we just got a kitten oh maybe a month ago, and this one is mean, she bites, last night my girlfriend was laying on the couch with her and she bit her right in the cheek, and hard too....anyone have an ideas as to stop this, im at the point right now where if she does this again, were giving her away....

My sollution is simple.

But...


Put it simple, Buy a big plastic bag and some electrical tape.

Seriously though. Some cats have genetic flaws above and beyond just being cats. There could be a problem with this one. Or it could be as simple as socialization.

Bite it back, until it learns that this hurts.

That is a good suggestion.

In the animal kingdom the correction would probably be the best way to go. If it gets sassy smack it. I don't know much about cats beyond the fact that my wife got one for a friend and now cant get rid of the stinking thing.

It got wise with me a few times and I gave it a whack. Now it is pretty nice. Dam thing has even taken a shine to me for some reason.

Tie one of her legs and toss her in a cage full of dogs.



Just kidding. Biting her back is a good idea, it teaches that it does hurt and in time she will will stop doing it.

i was thinking that too, but i dont want to get hairballs

also she'll probably bite me when im biting her and well just burn up the day...


we have a water bottle that sprays but its kind of pointless, i dont want to spray her if shes already done biting cause she wont realize what she did, and its awfully hard to get her while shes biting...

Biting back is an exceedingly bad idea if you like your face looking like it is.

It may have the desired effect after two or three corrections but human skin does not do as well as mommy cat skin when clawed.

I would use a more distant tool like a hand or squeeze a 44 magnum near it while pointing the hole right at the cat. They almost never scratch or bite after one S&W lesson.
