ematteo 0 #76 May 27, 2006 I second this. I inherited a biting cat with my SO and trained her not to bite by gently sticking my finger into her mouth each time she snapped. The cat absolutely hated it but the biting stopped. Quote Do: when the cat is playing - and doesn't have a good grip at all on your finger/hand, push your hand INTO their mouths (not far, and not fast...you don't want to hurt/choke). They hate that...and it is an effective deterrant as they almost immediately try to back off from the intrusion. It takes a few times, but they get the message. I've done this effectively with Simon, who's a biter, and now when he bites (during rough play sessions), he doesn't bite hard...'cause he knows what's going to happen.

Michele 1 #77 May 27, 2006 QuoteGive her a Pit Bull as a pet! ROFL. See, that doesn't work either. Know how I know? I rescued a cat last year that lived with a 4 year old pit. Took a while to trap her (2 weeks), as she had been left behind when the tenants moved...and they didn't bother to take her along...like they did with the dog. I met the dog; very docile and loving, and so this cat likely was alpha animal at that house. Well, the tenants were the animals, but whatever. It took me a while to get Abby to relax and realize no fighting was needed here; she never scratched people, but two of my other cats had good solid bloody scratches...now, just over 7 months later, she fits in just fine. She's a sweetheart, in fact. Not having to fight to stay alive does wonders for animals...and people, for that matter. So no, Pits aren't the answer either. LOL!

BIGUN 1,399 #80 May 27, 2006 Cat bites. Open toilet lid. Throw cat in. Close toilet lid. Flush. Rinse, Repeat. Nobody has time to listen; because they're desperately chasing the need of being heard. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Broke 0 #81 May 27, 2006 QuoteHow about this? Seems pretty effective. I have never seen a cat with more of a "why aren't you helping me" look. I am suprised that cat isn't scratching at the legs of the person in the shower. That is even more dangerous for guys. Do not ever take your cat into the shower unless it likes itDivot your source for all things Hillbilly. Anvil Brother 84 SCR 14192 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
