Has anyone had to deal with a cat that has a habit of biting? One of our two has a habit of biting my hands if they are anywhere near him? He has had his balls removed which did calm him down a bit. He no longer tries to shag his sister for a start.

The biting isn't hard but sharp claws and sharp teeth mean even gentle biting can be a little painful.

Nuke it from orbit, it's the only way to be sure.

Is it play biting or get near me & you'll loose a limb biting?

either way it might be something he grows out of.

Bite it back. I did that to a dog, she din't bite me again.

Cowered in a corner and looked at me funny, mind.

We had that and it was only against me not Mrs. He stopped when I squirted him with a water sprayer. Also letting him out has kerbed his naughtiness. If it's heavy rain he can be a nightmare in the house.

My cat bites me, but she understands the dance so I trust her. Always goes for the tender skin, but never inflicts any real damage. And believe me if she wanted to she could.
If its only a little painful its in fun, and is a sign of trust and affection.
I spose a tap on the nose when he goes too far might help.

Sounds like you've got one of those rubbish cats.
Throw it in the bin and get a new one.

Try hissing at him when he does it to warn him off. Saves you carrying a water pistol all the time and is usually effective. Need to do it loudly and then not pat him etc.

Works great with one of my pyschotic cats.

my mate Gareth punched a cat in the face after he saw it 'spray' his car once. It was on top of a fench and he spent 5 mins winning its confidence and when it came over he punched it.

A week later he caught it on his car bonnet so he threw a mug of tea at it.

You chopped his balls off and now you wonder why he's biting you?

Water spray or his like a possessed cat-human beast back at it - works on mine!
Mind you, mine swipes my legs as I walk past first thing in the morning if I don't give it a rub with my foot!

Margin Walker - I'm not sure how to break this to you but I think you may have a friend who is slightly retarded.

there aren't many problems in life, such as this, that can't be solved with a hammer

Some cats actually do this as a way to attract attention when they are hungry or something similar, might be worth looking at.....

dress as a fat old wifey and throw it in a wheely bin when no ones looking (apart from the cctv.)
then claim it was just for a laugh cos hes a cheeky wee ****er?

then sell story to national paper and aquire hate status thoughout the uk (for 24 hours) then dissappear into obscurity? EASY MONEY!

When you realise killing is the only way, the cat will become useful ---

Have you let the cat out yet? Ours was a right handful until he started going out. He used to jump and climb everything, now he's very calm indoors. Just keeps bringing kills in to drip blood & guts everywhere
