Our kitten Jack is about 4 and half months old. He was found as a stray at about 10 weeks so I'm not sure how long he was with his momma. He's smart (and often a little stupid), is great with the litter box and eating well. But his biting is driving me nuts.
At work yesterday I got to looking at my wrist and top of hand and realized the scratches on it were from Jack's biting (it hurts when he does it but don't realize its leaving marks). How can we stop him? We are using a squirt bottle for discipline in general (it has been working pretty well)---but when it comes to biting he just comes back for more (usually hands/wrists and feet/ankles).
I'm sure he teething but what can you convince a cat to chew?
HELP!
