My 2 y/o Rufus is a biter, of people-not cats. We'd only had him a week when he followed me into the bathroom one morning, and I didn't know he was there. I closed the door on the tip of his tail (not hard, but enough to hurt)and he sank all 4 fangs into my calf. I ended up with a massive infection. Since then, he bites. Not hard, mind you. He puts his fangs on my leg or arm and uses enough pressure for me to know he's doing it. It's especially bad when I'm in the bathroom (the scene of the crime, as it were). I've tried telling him very firmly "NO", like that's actually going to work.
I've also given him little 'pops' on his nose with my finger; doesn't bother him a bit.
I've had lots of cats, but I've never had a biter before. Usually, it's not bad, but sometimes he gets carried away & it hurts. Anyone have an idea as to how I can break him of this habit?
