Hi -
I'm just wondering if anyone can give me some advice. I have a cat, Sassy. She's probably around 14 years old. I've started noticing recently within the last few months that while I'm working she'll try to get attention. She'll try walking onto my laptop making it hard for me to work. I gently move myself so that she jumps down. Then she'll come back up and then nuzzle me. When she doesn't get the attentions she wants, she bites me. Not just a nip, a full on bite. She doesn't break skin, but she leaves teeth marks through thick shirts. How do I stop her from doing this? I, usually in a firm tone, say NO and move to another location. Then she'll glare at me from across the room with that look of " if you'd just gave me some attention, I wouldn't have had to bite you!" Some people had mentioned bitter spray stuff. But I'm not dousing my arms/hands in the stuff.
Any help would be appreciated.
