I hope he loves me!

My kitty Bear shows no love for me or the fam at all. Hes a sweet little thing but.... he never purrs or rubs us. And he has a biting problem. We cut his claws, but i know there is nothing u can do about the teeth If u can help please do. Bye!

No you can't cut his teeth off. It depends on the age of this cat/kitten as far as biting goes, but usually cats bite you when you are doing something they find unpleasant. More information is needed before anyone can really help you, and I know you are a child, so what do your parents say about your cat?

Its not a biting problem like we hurt him its more of a playful bite only he is starting to grow and he doesnt relize how much he hurts. He might still be in his kitten stage and wants to play but, my friend had a kitten who would bite a lot when he was small and now he is so hateful u cant touch him. o well. If u have any ideas on how to stop this biting prob please post them. thanks!

Kittens bite, it is part of their growing up process. You keep your hands away from a kitten that bites. You don't move your fingers under your bedspread or wiggle your feet. This just encourages them to bite you. They are smart, they figure out that your feet and fingers are attached to your hands and they have to bite you.

Play with him with peacoc feathers, or pheasant feathers. If he bites you because you are restraining him by holding him, let him go. If he grabs you with his teeth, don't get mad at him. Just push gently into his mouth, don't pull away, he will only latch on harder.

Your friend's kitten, I would guess has been punished for biting, thus making him into a mean kitty. Cats do not remember good stuff, but they never forget the bad. Treat your kitten with great kindness, he is a tiny creature dependent on you for EVERYTHING don't let him down.

Show your kitten lots of love and affection and you will be shown love in return

I never played with Sophie with my hands when she was a kitten and she's never bit or scratched me on purpose, where as with Rosie i did and had many scratches to prove it

you could try hissing at the kitten when it bites you to show you dont think its a game.

never hit or punish your kitten though.

Thanks!

Some cats are very demonstrative and cuddly. Others are more aloof.

Of my three cats, the middle one, Cushie, is much less demonstrative than the other two. She is more vocal, however.

Thisbe and Marnie will let themselves be picked up and held, whereas Cushie distinctly dislikes those things. She also doesn't sit on my lap or lie on me when I'm in bed, which the other two will do. However, of the three, she is the ONLY one who likes tummy rubs.

Cats are different the same way people are.

Harley bites (not hard) when he's playing but I know he does it on accident, not on purpose to hurt us, he's a very loving kitten though, he never bites us when he's not playing (besides my nose when he gives me kisses! )

Good luck with your kitten, just be patient, like Hissy said-they depend on you for everything!

I've only ever had cats bite me if I've been holding them when they didn't want to be held or playing with them with my hands.

Polly gives me play-bites sometimes. When she does, I just say in a firm voice (not yelling, just firm) "Polly, stop!" It always works! Kittens don't know any better.

Polly seems to be getting more friendly as she gets older, so maybe Bear will too. I think when they're in their playful kitten stage, they aren't as concerned with loves and snuggles.

Mochi is about five months old now and he bites -- but I kind of think it's a playful "i love you" bite more than anything else. He doesn't bite hard, and I know he's teething like crazy -- plus at the shelter a lot of the people stuck their fingers in the cages to play with him.

Is it okay to let him bite me if it doesn't hurt? (plus he kind of bites like he's trying to get out an itch, not like he's trying to chomp off my skin)
