    Understanding why kittens bite
    Biting in kittens is similar to biting behavior in puppies. It’s not about aggression, it’s about youngsters using their mouths to explore their environments. If we’re lucky, their mothers or litter mates teach them to inhibit this behavior. But sometimes they don’t learn from their litters that this is not acceptable.


    How to stop your kitten from biting
    The next time he bites you, say “OW!” loudly and get up immediately, walk away and ignore him. You are teaching him that biting leads to a loss of your attention. Second step, whenever he doesn’t bite you when you play, praise him for this with a treat, toy or anything he likes. Eventually he will learn that play with biting leads to a loss of you and play without biting leads to continued fun and attention.
