Ted Cat won't stop biting. Just nips but they are still bad and unacceptable. I think he does it as a way to get what he wants.
I sometimes gently tap him on nose or bum but this gives him a huge fright and makes him defensive as if I've beaten him.
Not sure what to do. I try to have a very reliable routine so he doesn't have to feel insecure.
My Void bites to ask for food. No advice on this oneβ¦.
Ditto and ditto. Though in Zooki's case it's more of a demand.
I try not to feed him within 5 min of getting bit, to not reinforce it, but sometimes itβs tricky. I immensely dislike whomever had him before us for various reasons.
