    My cat still 'bites' and she's seven!!! If she bites on purpose, i blow on her face and she lets go, i would never hit her though.

    So does Daisy,normally on my chin or my nose when I'm in bed.
    When I first got her she'd do it a lot of the time so I'd touch her nose with my finger & give a stern "NO!" & she soon stopped doing it as much.I think it's now more of a 'get up un gimme noms!" now...:rotfl:

    Don’t tap her backside, if she nips tell her no. Ours used to nip the OH when they were younger and he would carry on with stroking as well as talking to them in a baby voice telling them to stop biting him.

    I had to remind him that cats don’t understand English and he was just reinforcing the behaviour.
    It's not easy having a good time. Even smiling makes my face ache.
