Hello All!
I know kitten biting has been discussed on this forum before but was wondering what everyone's experience was with adult biting?
I have an F3 male that is almost 3 that has just started biting in the last few months. This was never a problem as a kitten and is a new issue. He has always 'played' aggressively with our other cat, but has never harmed us or drawn blood- until a few months ago.
He is a sweet cat but the biting seems to come out of nowhere. Usually he will lunge and attack my legs. About 4 times now, he has done it hard enough to drawl blood. This problem is only directed at me (so far) and hasn't happened to any one else or my husband.
We have a strict 'no teeth on skin rule' and will 'yelp' if he touches his teeth to our skin. We have always discouraged biting- even as a kitten while playing.
Anyone else have experience with this?
