thank you!

When my cat was a kitten, I made a point to say “ow” when she would play bite even the tiniest bit hard, but my husband would play a bit more aggressively (because kitten teeth don’t hurt). But now that she’s big, she’s gentle with me 90% of the time, but much tougher with my husband! It’s definitely worth it to teach them young.

Also if they are getting “bitey”, I play with them with something else between them and my hand, like a squishy/soft toy that they can bite and kick as much as they want.

Also, sometimes it's a good idea to keep your cat away from you for 10 minutes so that they learn to settle and then they come back really nice.

My cat too,I have her 3months old now shes 6months but still biting and scratching me😢

My husband just found a kitty at the back of our property all by himself. He was sickly so we took him to the vet, which she said the kitty is about 6-7 weeks old. Hes much better but he loves to bite and scratch us. He seems a bit "bossy" but we are keep him.❤

Adopted my cat from a shelter when he was 10 weeks old! He was kept separate from other cats because he didn’t have all his vaccinations yet, so he might not have had the opportunity to learn to curb his play aggression from his littermates/other cats… He is the sweetest lap cat during nap time but can be somewhat aggressive with biting and scratching during play time, so I’m hoping these tips will work. Thank you for sharing!

12 weeks old when we got our girl! She’s 6 months now, an f2 Savannah cat, and had to guide her to bite toys only in the first couple of months, she’s a very active adventure cat, but it didn’t take long for her to learn. Thanks for the tips on training!

Hi, thank you for sharing with us :) Got our two little British Shorthairs at 4-months. They are beautiful, happy brothers. They are 6-months now and yet to bite or scratch us - extra time with Mum and their litter mates seems to make a big difference. Hugs from the UK.

every second of your videos are so helpful! thank you! My kitten ages have been 12-16 weeks. i have raised new kiittens and my family loved to help me positively play with them. socialize them. They need Their mom and siblings to socialize them. My Willow was a rescue kitten and she is now a little over a year. However, i’ve always had a kitty or two over my entire life. Your advice and knowledge is amazing. Thank you for sharing your knowledge!

Albert you are a gentleman! Kind and you express yourself in an endearing manner! And you use clean language!!!!

Cosmo cat was a kitten when I rescued him from a chicken factory. I took him to the vet and they said he was 10-12 weeks old. He used to play rough and bite but we've been working on positive reinforcement, clicker training and playing with toys. He's come a long way but I still wonder how long he was out in the wild on his own before he found me 😿

Our Piccolo was 12 weeks old! He's a sweet boy, but sometimes when we play he'll bite down and it's hard to handle. Thank you for this video! Very informative. I didn't realise that positive and negative punishment were a thing before today!

This is the best video on dealing with play aggression I've watched and the only one that talks about negative punishment (removing a pleasant stimulant or something they want) and signaling they have hurt you (with a soft cry or whimper). Another Vlogger actually suggested people hiss at their cat. Don't do that. But just wanted to point out some other vloggers give poor advice and kudos to this video that really draws from the science-based findings of BF Skinner.

Picking up our two kittens from Granada this weekend- a little over 3 months old! Thank you for all these videos - I’m binge watching them to get ready for their arrival and eventual training. 😁💕🙌🏽

Thanks so much for the informative video! My kitten was orphaned when he was only a few (2-ish) weeks old so he never got the opportunity to learn from his mom or play with litter mates. The foster mom let him play with her hands. I got him when he was 10 weeks old and he has a problem with biting my hands

We got Zoey when she was 4 mos from a shelter. She was in an area with a few other kittens but I don't think they were her litter mates. She only gets bitey when she's wanting attention. She'll come up to us and roll around on our feet and then grab our legs and bite. She's never been like this when we play with her. Her personality has steadily evolved and she is a loving, playful and adventuresome kitty. I've followed your videos to clicker train her and it's awesomely easy and creates a great bond. Thanks for your videos we have an adventure cat. We travel alot so we have to take her with us. She is trained with the harness too, also thanks to your videos. Oh and now she's playing fetch, which she has taught us we didn't train her to do that! She's now 6 mos old.

Thank you so much for the thorough answer and the appreciation! :) It makes me so happy to see that some people and cats are benefiting from what we do.

My cat was only 4 weeks when we rescued her 😕 her mom was very sick and could not feed or take care of her anymore so me and my partner took care of her, bottle feed her and thought her how to eat solid foods 🥰 She is one and a half now and I definitely think she had a difficult time learning some things because her family never taught her 😕 but she almost never bites hard anymore! When she is super hyper and starts biting we just put her on the flor (because she is usually on our laps when this happens) and let her relax until she comes back calmer 😊 and when she does not want to be petted we just have to accept that no means no!

We brought our Toyger "Tiger" home from the shelter he was 1yr 1mo, old. He's gray with black strip, paw pads are black and he has the butterfly/mouth sign on the crown of his head... Very loving, learns fast and listens well. his left eye has the virus. He may have got it at birth. Very happy kitty and it doesn't slow him down one bit... has never hissed at us and the bites are light/loving with no clawing.

ty for these!

@@OutdoorBengal After several months of working with my cat to not bite, negative consequences did not work for us. I thought about how her bio-mom might react to a painful bite, so I yowl loudly (like a cat) when she bites. She stops immediately, looks at me like I've lost my mind, gives me a little lick and walks away. It took months for her to stop biting me but now she rarely does and it's usually when I pick her up and she doesn't want to be held.

My kitten, Moon, was 8 weeks when I got her. Beautiful British Tabby. She is now 13 weeks and ready for clicker training I’d say!

Oh my gosh, you’re such a cute guy! Thank you. I’ll try some of this.

My cat was 3 months old when we brought him home

We just adopted a kitten and she's about 3 months old. The foster mom told us that she scratches and bites a lot--so true! I have had cats forever, but never a kitten like this. All she does is attack us. We bought tons of toys for her, including tunnels, moving animal toys, interactive toys, two huge cat trees up to the ceiling, and play with her constantly. We actually got her as a companion cat for our cat that is 3 years old. Nothing has worked with the kitten. She will not stop scratching or biting. Thank you for the advice! New subbie :)

My 20 month old left at 13 weeks. He has a lot of toys. Cat wall. Scratches. We have several daily playtime's. I'm home all day and we cuddle a lot and 1-3 10 minute training sessions a day. He still likes to attack a few times a day. He gets told owe no and ignored and if he continues put in time out. It works. Kind of.

Adopted mine at 6 weeks old. If I waited for 12weeks, someone else would’ve had her today and she is pretty cute so I couldn’t turn her down.

My Bengal kitten was just over 11 weeks old when she came home with me, which I know was a little early, but could not be avoided. She had not learnt to control her claws or bite force for play! So my hands and arms were covered in scratches! I started with what my grandmother taught me when I was a child. If she hurts, then yelp (say ouch or similar in a high pitched voice) and stop playing and this worked well. within a few days, she was much more gentle and now if she accidentally get a bit carried away on occasion bites too hard or something, I do the same and she stops immediately and licks it better. The thing I'm still struggling with is that she still loves to catch my feet and curl herself around them so bite and bunny kick! She is being more gentle with that, but not enough.

My recent cats have all been pedigrees (including a half-Bengal 😀), and they've been adopted either as adults or as 13-week-old kittens, i.e. after their initial course of vaccinations (as required in the UK by the GFFC). I will definitely be enforcing the "no hands or feet" rule more strictly with the next two, though, as it's no fun being woken by having your toes attacked where they poke out of the duvet!

mine was 2 months and a foster, i brought her home with her sister from the same litter and they weren’t separated until around 10 weeks

I got my kitten at a little past 4 months old. She grew up with her siblings and plenty of human interaction, so she is extremely tolerant and well behaved. (Except for when she has the zoomies- then all bets are off) I love the butt wiggle right before they pounce!

Omg this video is perfect timing. I brought the kitten home at three months and I had my kitten for nearly two months he has been a sweety this whole time. Only very few occasion he want to be let down from us holding him he would put his teeth against my arm us scared of get bitten we would obviously let go of him. But recent two three days he suddenly so interested in wrestling with my feet and and always bite my feet it can hurt too. And night time he use to only pounce a bit but now he pounce on me plus bite. Got me flinched once when he pounced to my face and I felt his teeth on my neck. Though I wasn’t hurt it still scared me remind me of how lion hunt so I’m scared to sleep with him…

We just got our bengal kitty 3 days ago. She is 15 weeks old. Her mum wasn't a natural mum and had to be removed from her kittens for their own safety sadly. I don't know what age they were when that happened though. However, they grew up in a household with other adult female bengals, along with their siblings too. She's still settling in with us, but play aggression is something that became very apparent today, not biting, but scratching, and using me as a human tree, which resulted in me needing to disinfect wounds! I can see now that this happened because she was totally overstimulated, from us playing with her for a good long time. I think going forwards, I need to learn her cues as to when to stop the playtime, and let her calm down with food and sleep.

@OutdoorBengal

A good thing you can try to stop playtime is feed her right after. In nature, after hunt, there´s kill and eat. Then sleep. You´ll see that if you play before meal time, you´ll get them to stop.

She's desperate for food (I don't leave raw food out overnight for fear of it going rancid in the 9 hours we leave her) but do leave some little biscuits (not her favourite food) that are barely ever touched. Did you feed meantimes only from when you got Mia?

I adopted a 4 months old kitten who was left behind my door by some "kind" person. He already didn't like being held. Now he tolerates this for 1 minute and then bites me a little to be released. I think I unintentionally teached him to bite me to stop me from petting him when he doesn't want to be petted. But that's okay, I reckon he has a right to set his boundaries) He sometimes bites wery hard when we play, so I'll try to fix this as you tought us in this video) Thanks a lot!

Hello, we just got a cat thats 5 month years old. When he does the biting or scratch on our lap do we put him down after the "ow" or we leave him on us since he continues.

I just got a kitten 3 months old and he’s so gentle and sweet towards me but as soon as the feather toy comes out he becomes vicious. I’m not sure whether to just remove the toy or not to stop the behavior. In that state I tried to pick him up once to calm him and he was growling at me. I wasn’t sure what to do but after seeing this video I’ll just wait until his hunter vibes settle. When I remove the feather toy he becomes agitated and aggressive. After I let him attack the feather he gets to a calmer state faster. It’s very scary to see such a cute kitty become ruthless mini lion. But I’ll follow your advice and let him interact with the toy until he’s calm.

I honestly was going to go to the solution when he suggested the timestamps, but then the content was so interesting I forgot i was suppoosed to skip ahead 😅

My poor flatmate’s cat has developed a nervous peeing problem because of it. I adopted him at 6 years old and he has lived both on the street and in a previous home which abandoned him 😢. I don’t know how to teach him that biting is not ok. I always make a big fuss when he does and say NO really loudly and sternly and stare at him. Sometimes I have to physically pull him off the other cat though. I have never sprayed him but I’m kind of at my wits end on how to stop this. I never thought I would resort to spraying but how do I do this negative punishment thing in this case?

Hi I bought a kitten when he is 4 weeks old, when ever he plays he bites our feet and hands. Now he is 7 weeks old but still he is doing the same thing. We gave toy to play with. He is playing very aggressive with that toy like bitting. We can’t keep our leg in the floor while sitting in the sofa. He run fast to us and bit our feet. There is any advance to stop him bitting

I just taken a kitten 1 month old (I didn't know it was too young), and she started to scratch and bite for playing. Any additional reccomandation about her?

Hi Albert, our rehoused 10mth old cat was a kitten taken early from mum, has learnt some poor behaviour. I found he backs away instantly if I hold a small piece of orange peel near my attacked feet. Combined with “ouch”, I think it’s working slowly. I’d like to know your thought.

Correcting behaviors needs 2 stages: 1) Stopping the unwanted behavior 2) Reinforcing a wanted behavior (alternative). I would try to find something you want your cat to "attack" and reward them when it happens. This way, when ever presented the opportunity, you are encourage them to use the one that gets them a reward. Good luck!

my kitten is 5 weeks old. his mom was bullying him, so we got him early. he is now about 6 weeks.

My cat bites when I try to put her in the carrier or put collar on . Anytime I do something she does want but I have to do to take to the vet for instance

About 2,5 weeks ago i started clicker training my kitten. I live in a small apartment, en she is full of energy, so i want to take her outside. So clicker training seemed like a good idea to start with. It took me like a week and a half to charge the clicker. Now i want to learn her finger targeting, but when we are having a training session most of the time she just seems bored en walks away. When i sit with 10 minutes she does the trick 3/4 times en then walks away or just stays put and do nothing. I dont free feed her, and her wetfood i give her 3 times a day on the same time every day. For the treats i use her dry food. Do you know what i can do to excite her for training?

The training sessions might be too long… cats have relatively short attention spans…
